“…The necessity to manage complex quantity of data in patient care demands that all nurses, regardless of specialty area, have informatics skills (Gaumer, Koeniger-Donohue, Friel, & Sudbay, 2007;Nelson, 2007). Although the nursing informatics specialty has many complex competency requirements in order to function effectively in the digital healthcare environment all nurses are required to have basic informatics skills (Tellez, 2012). Informatics skills for all nurses require basic computer skills as one component (American Nurses Association, 2008).…”

“…Each competence is fitted with indicators. (CASN, 2012) Information management means capability to collect data, process them and transform them into knowledge that can be used to advance clinical outcomes (Tellez, 2012). The use of standardized nursing language is important to define nursing phenomenon in terms of tasks, skills and knowledge (Jensen, Meyer & Sternberger, 2009).…”

“…The use of standardized nursing language is important to define nursing phenomenon in terms of tasks, skills and knowledge (Jensen, Meyer & Sternberger, 2009). It includes ability to capture clinical data in standardized electronical form which is subsequently transformed into information that is usable to improve health outcome (Tellez, 2012). Professional development/leadership entails "the ethical, procedural, safety and management issues for information solutions in nursing practice, education, research and administration" (ANA, 2008).…”

“…Information Communication Technology (ICT) is a process of transmitting media data from a source to a destination through electronic means. Nursing service delivery in the present dispensation demands a combination of nursing science, computer science and information science in relation to the diagnosis and treatment of human response to health & illness which has been defined as Nursing Informatics [NI] (Tellez, 2012). Nurse educators are vested with the responsibility of producing the crop of nurses who have the capabilities to fit into the current trend of nursing practice.…”

In order to function in the increasingly complex healthcare environment, every nurse is required to have basic computer competencies, be able to access, use and evaluate relevant nursing information and possess information management skills. Nurse Faculty, Nurse/Midwife educators are vested with the responsibility of producing the crop of nurses who have the capabilities to fit into the current trend of nursing practice. Literature has shown that comprehensive informatics content is lacking in the nursing curricular at all levels of nursing education in Nigeria. There is preponderance of evidence showing that training in NI is critical in the delivery of safe and quality patient care. This paper examines the current state of nursing informatics education and use in Nigeria and proffer solutions for its future expansion. It is recommended as follows: Nursing programme accrediting bodies in Nigeria (National University Commission [NUC] and Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria [NMCN] should modify their requirements to reflect the value of NI. NI should be incorporated into the nursing curricular at all levels. Nursing administrators such as Deans, Heads of Department, Director of Nursing Services and Principals as well as Nursing associations like National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives [NANNM] and Nigerian Association of University Nursing Programme [NAUNP], should create opportunities for faculty members, Nurse/Midwife educators to develop knowledge & skills required to teach nursing informatics. Faculty members & Nurse/Midwife educators should acquire informatics training and advocate for curricular changes that incorporate informatics and collaborate with colleagues in the clinical settings to provide opportunities for nursing students to utilize informatics tools.

The aim of this descriptive study, carried out at a public university, was to design, develop, and validate a distance learning module on intramuscular premedication antisepsis. The content was introduced in the Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, based on the Systematic Model for Web-Based Training projects. Ten nurses and information technologists at work consented to participate, in compliance with ethical guidelines, and answered a questionnaire to validate the Virtual Learning Environment. The educational aspects of the environment interface were mostly evaluated as "excellent," whereas the assessment of didactic resources indicated interactivity difficulties. It is concluded that distance learning is an important tool for the teaching of premedication antisepsis. To ensure its effectiveness, appropriate methods and interactive devices must be used.
