Web Watch | A sampling of Vanderbilt's burgeoning Web presence

Web Site: www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/nursing

Department: Vanderbilt University School of Nursing

Key Data: The School of Nursing uses this recently redesigned Web site as both a recruitment tool and a point of reference for members of the health care community and the general public. For prospective students and parents, there is a virtual tour of the campus and School of Nursing buildings, information about all programs, specialties and courses offered by the school, and detailed information about the admissions process. For all audience categories, there are links to publications and health-related studies. With links to information about scheduling appointments with advanced practice nurses and about incorporating faculty members into one's health care practice, the revamped site is expected to be of growing interest to patients and health care providers, said Jerry Murley, director of instructional technology for the School of Nursing.
