Mobile computing has the power to make nursing practice safer, more efficient, evidence informed, and of a higher quality.
(Patillo et al., 2007; Thede & Sewell, 2010; Thompson, 2005)

There is evidence to show that information laden mobile devices enhance students learning and patient care research studies are contained in the reference list of this paper

BCIT Policy for Mobile device use (copied from BCIT Student Guidelines Policies & Procedures 2013, p10--13): 3. Safety and Security: Students must not use camera, video or recording features in the clinical environment/hospital grounds or classroom and laboratory activities. Maintain patient confidentiality and privacy: do not use patient names, numbers or other identifying data. Maintain medical asepsis by protecting your mobile device with a plastic zip lock/saran wrap during patient care contact; wash hands after removing wrap and place device onto a clean surface. Maintain awareness of your surroundings while operating your device; be stationary and aware of events around you. Maintain vigilance and keep the device on your person to prevent theft. Do not loan out to others. Ensure that your device requires a password to log in and turns off automatically after three minutes if it is not being used.

4. Professional Conduct: Students are not permitted to engage in personal business while performing as a clinical student without faculty permission this includes voice calls, texting, or internet browsing for nonclinical information. Put your mobile device away (in your pocket) and on quiet mode when interacting with patients. Permission must be obtained by patient, health care team member or instructor prior to any form of recording. Permission of the instructor must be obtained if the student wishes to record a presentation or class. When you use the device in front of a patient/health care team member/instructor pre-empt its use by stating your purpose for using the device. Turn off all sounds when in clinical, class, meetings or conferences. Inform your supervising RN that you are using the device to access information for clinical.

Nursing Informatics
The Emerging Field.. In all types of health care organizations, nursing is the hub of the information flow. Developing the science and technology of nursing informatics will enhance the information available to nurses for clinical practice, management, education, and research and will facilitate the role of nurses as communicators." Patricia F. Brennan(1996)

Recommendation by the Canadian Nurses Informatics Association (CNIA, 2003):

that the culture and expectations of

schools of nursing embrace nursing informatics and appropriate use of information and communication technology in teaching and learning (p. 30). http://www.cnia.ca
