A qualitative study of new graduates' readiness to use nursing informatics in acute care settings: clinical nurse educators' perspectives.

As well as supporting the pre-existing studies on NI skills in graduates and barriers to graduates' NI practice, this current study identified the need for nursing schools to further integrate NI into formal curricula and increased opportunity for exposure to hospital systems as undergraduates. Further studies in multiple settings across Australia are recommended to ensure the transferability of the findings of this study.
