Hi! I am Stephanie Clark. I am in my last year of the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Program. I am a distance student and live in Pocatello, ID. I have been a nurse for four years, almost all of my experience is psych nursing. I currently work at the state hospital here in Idaho.
We have experienced a lot of IT changes at my place of work in the last few years. We went from a 100% paper charting system to a 100% computer charting system. We also changed from a paper medication system to an electronic, scanning medication program. All of these changes have been for the better. I would much rather use computer charting and computer medication programs. It has reduced medication errors and made the whole charting process much more streamlined.
