Computer-based training via the Web offers critical care nurses the convenience of training when the individual has the desire, time, and necessity for learning.1 The convenience of Web-based training may be especially valuable among critical care nurses, who are often busy and have little time to attend mandatory review training sessions. In addition, staff educators are now able to use the Web as an efficient and convenient training tool to post assignments, upload multimedia critical care presentations, and download files.2 More importantly, the nurse educator of an organization is not required to teach each computer-based offering, a situation that leaves extra time for the educator to manage the overall program for staff development.1 This time savings may translate into a cost savings for the organization, which will not incur the hourly expense of ongoing repetitious materials, such as a review of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
