Aside of that, the survey also provides information that about 58% of this nursing schools have already plan to implement their social networking tool in their curricula for the upcoming year that been compared to the 50% of medical educational learning institutes.

Aside of that, itâ??s been noted that several medical respondents are now likely use some networking tools than the nursing educational learning institutes in the country. Another separate survey had already been conducted last 2007 and it was found out that several medical learners and even practitioners are ever wanting more educational training in order to become better users of this web 2.0 networking tools.
