With the rapid introduction of technology in nursing education, information regarding its implementation in undergraduate curricula is emerging. The authors describe the implementation process used to integrate personal digital assistants into an undergraduate nursing curriculum. Barriers such as potential for device loss, issues related to patient confidentiality, and infection control are addressed.
