New initiative: All of the web pages of interest to nurses brought together on a virtual desktop

The nurses from Barcelona Ángeles López and Jordi Mitjà have pushed forward this innovative initiative that allows them to have all of the webpages of interest to nurses very visually and attractively on a single desktop.

Using the Symbaloo application, nurses can now access their virtual desktop from any computer, mobile phone or tablet with an Internet connection. Nothing has to be installed, it is only necessary to access the link to the nurse’s virtual desktop.

Ángeles López and Jordi Mitjà explained that the nurse’s virtual desktop allows fast, easy and intuitive access to all relevant information for their daily work.

The nurse’s virtual desktop may be defined as a useful, attractive and easy-to-use tool. It is a free application, which means that many nurses can use it.

We can find the virtual desktop online without any need to download it. It is a unique virtual place where the necessary web links can be organised for the optimal development of the nursing profession.

Ángeles López: “The nurse’s virtual desktop is a tool of knowledge management and support for the optimal development of our care”.

Jordi Mitjà: “We have different very helpful sources of information, but spread over many websites. The nurse’s virtual desktop makes our work easier”.

It is essential to know how to select and manage the sources of information, learning and knowledge. The nurse’s virtual desktop is a unique virtual place that gives access to information. It is a digital, multi-platform tool with an easy-to-use and organised intuitive interface to the main sources of information that nurses need.
