Faculty and students in the 21st century need to be skilled in the use of computer technology. In this registered nurse first assistant (RNFA) program, distance learning modalities are used to link students and faculty from different locales, expanding the accessibility of RNFA education. Independent study is used to stimulate critical thinking and skill acquisition in a safe, user friendly environment. The strategies described are simple yet powerful and can be similarly developed by faculty in other RNFA programs without the need for large budgetary expenditures or sophisticated technology.
