Registered nurses (RNs) in rural areas benefited from a flexible baccalaureate program using computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and personal computers (PCs). The project details challenges and successes in adapting RN education.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Rural baccalaureate faculty teaching Registered Nurses (RNs) required flexible educational programs.
  • Traditional programs often lacked the adaptability needed for working RNs in geographically dispersed areas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a project integrating Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) and Personal Computers (PCs) into a baccalaureate program for RNs.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and impact of this technology-enhanced educational model.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a flexible baccalaureate curriculum for RNs.
  • Integration of CAI modules and PC-based learning resources.
  • Ongoing assessment of project challenges and successes.

Main Results:
