Skill in managing immature employees is seldom learned in nursing management classes and is usually developed as a result of difficult experiences. A technique in which limits are set is most effective. As with other difficult management situations, the manager cannot expect immediate rewards. The immature employee who has trouble with authority will not readily offer appreciation to his or her manager. The manager's reward is knowing that he or she handled the situation well.

Students seem to be losing interest in computer assisted nursing instruction (CAI). CAI needs to be stimulating and motivating to promote optimal learning. This article presents four instructional design features of CAI that facilitate interest and motivation: objectives, attentiveness, individual control, and reinforcement. Authors of software should use these features in design and nurse educators should include these design issues when evaluating CAI for purchase.
