A pharmacology review for private duty nurses using computers and self learning concepts.

Computers, rather than instructors, patiently tutored the nurses, providing them with as much practice as necessary to master calculation skills. Instruction was consistent and readily available. Traditional printed material also was used because of its portability and accessibility. It was reassuring for the nurses to have something tangible to review. Program evaluations were positive. Comments such as the following were not uncommon: "The computer is a patient tutor; it never criticizes or tires"; "It was better than attending a workshop or lecture. I really learned the material because I was responsible for my learning." Currently, this group of nurses is using computer-assisted instructional programs for professional development. With the help and guidance of the PENZANCE staff, they overcame their fear of the technology and are now requesting that more programs be made available. It was a good experience for all.
