Virtual reality (simulation) and ubiquitous(every where) computing are emerging and being used in education and other areas in health care nursing knowledge workers must be able to understand the evolving specialty, nursing informatics, in order to begin to harness and use the tools available for managing the vast amount of health care data and information.
