RESUMO

Advances in computer software have provided interactive tools that perform many of the duties once in the domain of the nursing profession. Sometimes referred to as 'virtual nursing avatars,' the duties delegated to this technology include facilitating check-ins for patients and coaching patients as they make lifestyle changes. Researchers continue to develop computer applications for virtual nurse avatars. As computers and smartphones take on tasks once in the domain of humans, the roles of nurses will evolve. The arc of this evolution will be determined by the limits of technology, evolving concepts of care, and changing population needs. In this article, the authors share examples of nursing avatar applications, discuss concerns about virtual nurse avatars, reinforce nursing as a caring profession, present avatars as caring agents, and consider the future of nursing avatars. They conclude that, although virtual nurse avatars can perform some nursing tasks in an acceptable manner, they are limited in their ability to make complex judgments and engage in collaboration.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Interrater reliability of student-written assignments within a nursing education program is a desirable characteristic to ensure uniform quality of academic work. As online programs that advance RNs to baccalaureate-prepared nurses (i.e., RN-to-BSN programs) grow in popularity, the challenges of quality control increase. METHOD: Grading data representing mean, median, mode, and range from 19 course sections in an online RN-to-BSN program were submitted. Data were analyzed for measures of central tendency with a query of interrater reliability. RESULTS: The data indicate that instructors assess student performance at a uniformly high level. CONCLUSION: The data lead to two disparate conclusions: student performance is high and is reliably assessed as such, or the online program suffers from grade inflation. Such disparate conclusions are uniquely endemic to any program that serves the RN-to-BSN population, typically high-performing students who have established prior mastery on licensure examinations.
