Abstract
Better health care for all and an overall health care restructuring are two of the most important processes that will, in addition to many existent assignments, expose many new tasks and responsibilities for the nursing personnel. Each of these responsibilities entails information as input and also generates information as the output, and in the near future it is to be expected that most of the information processing including data gathering, decision making support, data mining and information generation will be performed by computers. To cope with this new situation, the nurses have to be armed with proper knowledge and thereafter the proper education will play a very important role. In this manner we started an EU project called NICE, which one of the main objective is to develop new computer managed educational tools for nursing.
