Code of Conduct in Nursing - Ethical and Legal Issues of Social Media Usage in Healthcare
RN have always used tools, chemicals, potions, equipment and machines to provide care for people. Nursing technology includes any technology that we use and/or claim to be fundamental to our daily practice. Depending on context, there are different types of nursing technologies, even though a lot of nursing technology is not immediately evident to us. Interestingly, a lot of nursing technology is not recognised as such by nurses both in clinical practice and in nursing literature. For example, there is sometimes in the literature an overemphasis on sophisticated computer technology and an uncritical lack of emphasis on technology associated with the ‘dirty work’ of nurses (e.g., bedpans). The reasons for this lack of recognition are numerous but include: 1. an overemphasis on, and excitement about, new andsophisticated machinery and equipment; 2. our inclination to focus on new technology and to take for granted older and simpler technologies; 3. the lack of research and scholarship examining technology within nursing.
