TELEMENTORING

Telementoring is used by a nursing teacher providing training/advice? to another nurse consultant at a remote site. The Internet has made teleconsultation and telementoring much cheaper and more effective for many nurse practitioners, as all that is required is a PC, a high-speed modem, and a webcam (a camera allowing video in real time to be transmitted to another computer). The ease and accessibility of modem telemedicine and telenursing has dramatically aided the health care systems of Third World countries, who in times of crisis can receive consultations from various resources.
