"Malaysia is moving towards a developed country status and it is imperative that the healthcare provided \r\nbe at a higher standard than it is today. As members of the healthcare team, nurses play an essential role\r\nin the provision of healthcare. As such it is timely th at nurses’ education be upgraded. As most of them\r\nonly have a certificate or diploma in nur sing, one way to upgrade the nurses is by providing opportuni-\r\nties for a baccalaureate degree. However, due to the shortage of nurses, nurses find it a challenge to en-\r\nroll in a full- time on-campus programme. One way to help nurses meet the challenge is by providing an \r\nonline distance learning programme to Malaysian nurses. And, to ensure the success of the online dis-\r\ntance learning programme, it was realized that the nursing students need to be adequately prepared for \r\nan online learning environment. How much preparation will be determined, among other things, by \r\ntheir prior experience and skill in using technology as well as by their belief and attitude towards online \r\ndistance learning. A survey was conducted on a cohort group of students during a face-to-face pre-\r\ncourse orientation, that is, prior to the start of the online program. The findings of the survey are pre-\r\nsented and discussed in the paper and implications for the future are highlighted. (Authors' abstract)"^^ . "2003-06" . . .
