In 2013 we made the decision to move the hosting of our online Learning Management System, online programs and nursing education on to ‘the cloud’.

By now you will have seen this video doing the online rounds. In the talent section of the Miss America pageant this month, Miss Colorado eschewed the usual baton twirling and fire eating, and instead performed an original monologue about her experience of being “just a nurse”.

The other day a friend contacted me about her daughter’s application to university to train as a nurse. This caused be to reflect on the many paths this girl could take.

The provision of online mandatory education, or doing online continuing professional development, is an established part of most nursing environments in 2015.
