Abstract
Description Advances in technology offer additional health care tools to improve the health of patients and efficiencies for our clinicians in innovative ways. These technologies cover a huge variety of therapeutics, ranging from wearable devices, such as insulin pumps, to robotic-assisted surgeries. Nursing informatics is firmly embedded in the use of technology to improve nursing care and science. One of the most recent developments in nursing is the exploration of virtual nursing. This paper will present the past, current, and future projections for this unique blend of nursing art and science with cutting-edge technology.
