Beskrivning

Does the Internet offer anything beyond endless shopping at cybermalls, a plethora of computer games, and a worldwide virtual clubhouse for computer nerds? Is there anything out there for nurses and allied health professionals? This book demonstrates that the answer is "yes". When you need to know how others have dealt with a proposed health care change, and you can't wait three months for the next conference, or nine months for the next book, that's when you discover the power of the Internet- it lets you exchange information with peers around the world instantly, giving you the knowledge edge to keep your nursing or health care practice professional and progressive.
