NI Pioneers

WELCOME

Nursing Informatics has been in existence for over a century. From the initial seeding by Florence Nightingale to the ongoing contributions throughout the years, the field has grown by leaps and bounds. Although there are many pioneers in the field of informatics, the documentation is not as rich as the experience. It is important to explore and preserve the history of nursing informatics.

This site’s purpose is to:
  • Create a vehicle to gather the experiences, thought and recollections of nursing informatics professionals from around the globe.
  • Enrich and preserve our nursing informatics history.
  • Provide an educational resource.
Your experiences are critical to the collective body of informatics knowledge. Please take a few moments to review the 'Help Us Grow' section. It is only with your participation that our nursing informatics history may be preserved.

Your participation is greatly appreciated.
