A Telenursing HELPS.

             In this modern years, nursing evolved in the used of technologies. We are already done on those things that we have a hard time doing things in the hospitals, making nurses notes, making physical assessment and plotting those vital signs to those hundreds of patients. Telenursing has a big help in the nursing world today. 
             Nurses are a central part of the use of technologies in health care. As such, telenursing is not a new role for nurses. There is evidence of existence of the role of telenurses for more than 25 years. In fact, any nurse who has provided guidance, education, or lab results over the telephone has taken part in telenursing. However, telenursing can also include more sophisticated systems than the telephone, such as two-way audio and video systems, Internet, satellite, and other communication systems. Telenursing is gaining increasing attention as the role of the telenursing is being realized.
             Anyhow, there are advantages and disadvantages in telenursing. The advantages are it can be not a hassle part to the health care provider and to the patient because you only have to dial to the telephone, you only have to have a video call in the computer and talk to your doctor or nurse incharge, and you dont need to line up in the hospital to be entertained first. but the disadvantages are the patient are not strictly monitored by the doctors and nurses because they are not seen and assess physically and the information might not be mistakenly diagnosed. Unlike to those who really come to the hospital to have a check up, they can be assessed properly by the doctors and monitored promptly for any signs and symptoms may occur during hospitalization.
              In short, the past century has seen a period of phenomenal technological advancement, the integration of technology with our health care delivery system is almost the norm and the potential for these continuing trends will be highlighted.
