    Implementing a computer lab improved nursing education. Students experienced reduced anxiety for the RN licensure exam, and faculty and student attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction (CAI) showed positive trends.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Educational Technology
    • Health Professions Education

    Background:

    • Integration of microcomputer laboratories into established nursing curricula is a key area of educational innovation.
    • Assessing the impact of such technological integration on faculty and student perceptions, learning outcomes, and institutional visibility is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document program enhancement following the implementation of a microcomputer laboratory in a nursing program.
    • To evaluate changes in faculty and student attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction (CAI).
    • To assess the impact on student anxiety related to state board examinations.

    Main Methods:

    • Data collection involved surveys and analysis of institutional metrics.
    • Participants included nursing students and faculty.

  • Key metrics included attitudes toward CAI, anxiety scores for the RN licensure examination, and indicators of institutional visibility.

    • Main Results:

    • Postimplementation, both faculty and students exhibited increased positive attitudes toward CAI, though not statistically significant.
    • A statistically significant decrease in anxiety scores was observed in senior students using specific CAI software for RN licensure exam preparation (p < .001).
    • Increased institutional visibility was documented through metrics such as CAI module development and grant acquisition.

    Conclusions:

    • The introduction of computers into the nursing curriculum enhanced program excellence.
    • Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) shows potential for reducing student anxiety and improving learning outcomes for licensure exams.
    • Further research is ongoing to explore the relationship between learning styles, attitudes, and student learning in technology-integrated environments.
