Developing AJN Network: phase two. An information resource for nurses.

In September of 1993 the American Journal of Nursing Company was awarded a three-year Special Projects Grant from the Division of Nursing, Department of Health and Human Services to develop a national information service that would provide a variety of formal and informal continuing education services to nurses in medically underserved communities. AJN Network went "live" in March 1994 and our progress in our first year of operation was presented at SCAMC in 1994. During the first year of operation, AJN Network was available through a dial in service. In September 1994 we became an Internet node. This presentation will detail our progress in Year 2 of the grant period, describing expansion of user base and content, new content offerings, initial stages of WEB development and plans for future development.

Developing AJN Network: transforming information to meet the needs of the future.

In September of 1993 the American Journal of Nursing Company was awarded a three-year Special Projects Grant from the Division of Nursing, Department of Health and Human Services to develop a national information service to provide a variety of formal and informal continuing education services to nurses in medically underserved communities. AJN Network went "live" in March 1994. Using a train the trainer approach, over 150 trainers were oriented in rural areas of our pilot states: North Carolina, Nevada and Wisconsin. This core group is now going out to rural hospitals to train other nurses on the system. During the first year of operation, AJN Network has been be available through a dial in service. Beginning in September 1994 it will be offered over the Internet, an international network linking hundreds of smaller computer networks throughout the world. This project will make use of the High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) initiative which provides a backbone extending across the country, capable of transmitting data at tremendous speeds. Services that are currently available on AJN Network are described along with plans for future development.

Improving oncology nursing practice through understanding and exploring the Internet.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To provide an overview of the evolution of computer technology, a brief history of the Internet, and guidelines for searching the Internet. DATA SOURCES: Literature, electronic online sources, and personal experience. DATA SYNTHESIS: Vast collections of resources are available on the Internet that can enhance many aspects of oncology nursing practice. These resources are stored on computers, rarely published as print documents, and only available to those oncology nurses who learn to navigate the Internet. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Specific Internet-based oncology nursing resources can enhance clinical practice, improve education, and facilitate oncology nursing research. CONCLUSIONS: Because a significant number of valuable resources are available on the Internet, it is critical that oncology nurses understand it, be aware of the resources, and have the skills to access the appropriate information.
