This paper presents one finding to arise from a recent qualitative research study that examined ways of understanding technology in surgical nursing, and examines its implications for nursing and health care practice. Although the research reported identified eight qualitatively different ways of understanding technology, this paper examines the specific experience that technology can alter will (volition). The experience described is a new area of knowledge and is in need of further examination and research. Nonetheless, it is significant to understanding technology, contemporary nursing practice and the provision of health care services. The paper concludes with some suggested approaches for curtailing the experience and a discussion related to challenges that arise from the finding that technology can alter the free will of nurses.
