Nursing Informatics

Irony is spouting off your dreams... and then reading about their foundational existence in your Nursing Informatics book the next day.

It's kind of exciting to me. I guess I'm a little behind in the tech world. Ahaha. No surprise there. It's nice to know that other people have connected the dots about how helpful (and hurtful) social media can be to the medical profession.

There are Clin Wikis and interactive health blogs and even a site called "PatientsLikeMe" which involves people sharing experiences with chronic conditions. Apparently there's even an entire world called "Second Life" (SL) where you can literally devise a second life of your own. It is tied into the medical world by providing and exploring opportunities for people with disabilities or amputees.

It's all a little much for me to take in.

I still think my idea is singular because it focuses more on relationships. I don't think anything works without relationships. Unfortunately, they are a lot of work... and I think a lot of people somehow missed that concept. Anyway, the point of any online thing I established would be to connect people to exhort and grow together. Basically, discipleship... to use a very biblical term and scare a lot of you. Hahaha. Come now. How are we going to ever experience transformation and health and wellness unless we work on it together? You all know how easily an exercise program flops when you're by yourself. I wonder if it is possible to rework a better understanding of discipleship online? Probably only if you're a creative writer.

OK I'm not really sure where I'm going with this thought... so I'm going stop procrastinating and get back to my homework.
