Nursing Informatics
Hello! Welcome to NCM-N 110: Nursing Informatics.
Nursing professionals are information-dependent knowledge workers. As health care
continues to evolve in an increasingly competitive information marketplace,
professionals—that is, the knowledge workers—must be well prepared to make
significant contributions by harnessing appropriate and timely information.

Nursing informatics (NI), a product of the scientific synthesis of information in nursing,

encompasses concepts from computer science, cognitive science, information science,
and nursing science. NI continues to evolve as more and more professionals access,
use, and develop the information, computer, and cognitive sciences necessary to
advance nursing science for the betterment of patients and the profession.

Regardless of their future roles in the healthcare milieu, it is clear that nurses need to
understand the ethical application of computer, information, and cognitive sciences to
advance nursing science.

TEACHING AND LEARNING FRAMEWORK

 
NDMU as a higher institution of learning adheres to the teaching-learning philosophy
that is student-centered, transformative, outcome-based relevant and responsive,
and Marist Pedagogy-Oriented.
 
COURSE POLICIES/GUIDELINES:
 
A online learning/blended approach will be used as a primary method of
instruction. Class members are expected to participate through online discussion,
presentation, and sharing via various online platforms of the university. The
professor should elaborate issues and topics in the form of online mini-lectures,
use of course packets, and user interface-friendly learning management
systems. Seminar approach, case analysis, individual and group distance
learning activities, research presentations and problem-solving exercises will also
be used as instructional strategies. In addition, course packets shall be provided
for self-paced study at home.
 
Academic Integrity
 
Academic integrity is expected of all students. The attempt by any student to present as
his/her own work which he/she has not produced is regarded by the faculty and
administration of NDMU as a serious offense. Students are considered to have cheated
if they turn in an assignment, written or online, in whole or in part by someone else.
Students are guilty of plagiarism, intentional or not, if they copy from books, magazines,
Internet, or other sources without identifying and acknowledging those sources or if they
paraphrase ideas from such sources without acknowledging them.
 
Students enrolled in this course who cheat on exams or quizzes or commit plagiarism,
or copy another students work in any way, violate the Academic Integrity policy of the
University and will receive an F (0 points) on the test or assignment in question. In
addition, they will be reported to the College Dean for appropriate sanction.

Attendance
 
Each session is very important to your learning so you should avoid being absent.
Unexcused and/or chronic lateness and early exits will be counted as an "absence."
Missing a class does not excuse you from the work assigned. You will be expected to
complete and submit any assignments before or at the beginning of the next class
session.

It is important to recognize that the online classroom is in fact a classroom, and certain
behaviors are expected when you communicate with both your peers and your
instructors. These guidelines for online behavior and interaction are known as
netiquette.
 
SECURITY
Remember that your password is the only thing protecting you from pranks or more
serious harm.
• Don't share your password with anyone .
• Change your password if you think someone else might know it.
• Always log out when you are finished using the system.
 
GENERAL GUIDELINES
 
When communicating online, you should always:
• Treat your instructor and classmates with respect in email or any other communication.
• Always use your professors’ proper title: Dr. or Prof., or if in doubt use Mr. or Ms.
• Use clear and concise language.
• Remember that all college and graduate level communication should have correct
spelling and grammar (this includes discussion boards).
• Avoid slang terms such as “wassup?” and texting abbreviations such as “u” instead of
“you.”
• Use standard fonts such as Arial, Calibri or Times new Roman and use a size 10 or 12
pt. font
• Avoid using the caps lock feature AS IT CAN BE INTERPRETTED AS YELLING.

 Limit and possibly avoid the use of emoticons like :) or J.
• Be cautious when using humor or sarcasm as tone is sometimes lost in an email or
discussion
post and your message might be taken seriously or sound offensive.
• Be careful with personal information (both yours and others).
• Do not post confidential information via group chat or discussion board.
 
 
EMAIL NETIQUETTE
When you send an email to your instructor or classmates, you should:
• Use a descriptive subject line.
• Be brief.
• Avoid attachments unless you are sure your recipients can open them.
• Avoid HTML in favor of plain text.
• Sign your message with your name and contact number/ address.
• Think before you send the e-mail to more than one person. Does everyone really need
to see
your message?
• Be sure you REALLY want everyone to receive your response when you click, “reply
all.”
• Be sure that the message author intended for the information to be passed along
before you
click the “forward” button.
 
MESSAGE BOARD NETIQUETTE AND GUIDELINES
When posting on the Discussion Board in your online class, you should:
• Make posts that are on topic and within the scope of the course material.
• Take your posts seriously and review and edit your posts before sending.
• Be as brief as possible while still making a thorough comment.
• Always give proper credit when referencing or quoting another source.
• Be sure to read all messages in a thread before replying.
• Don’t repeat someone else’s post without adding something of your own to it.
• Avoid short, generic replies such as, “I agree.” You should include why you agree or
add to the
previous point.
• Always be respectful of others’ opinions even when they differ from your own.
• When you disagree with someone, you should express your differing opinion in a
respectful,

non-critical way.
• Do not make personal or insulting remarks.
• Be open-minded.
