I completely agree with this post about nurses needing to learn and get trained in using the computer programs at work. When I was taught through my job, I was taught by someone who had only one day of training. I had to base my knowledge off of what she remembered. I also had to trust that she was doing it right and that she was showing me a good way to learn and remember. If I would have had a day or more of training then I would have been ok with making mistakes and doing things wrong. But when you are just thrown into something and then do it wrong it could jeopardize your job, especially when it has to do with patient information.
