Abstract
Computer conferencing offers a new delivery mode for distance education for nurses. This qualitative study examined the experiences of post-RN students taking a nursing course by computer conference. Initially, the students found the technology frustrating, but once they established contact, they appreciated participating in discussions and scheduling their own learning time. They formed a cohesive, friendly group through the computer system. Comparisons are made among computer conferencing and other distance delivery modes for nurses.
