That nurses must not only be computer literate but also consumers of information technologies emerges as a professional imperative. This is especially true for nurses in management and administration. Therefore, exposing them to current technologies becomes crucial in their academic experience. Educating students to use business software applications and to understand their output will yield a leading edge to those preparing for management decision-making.
