title: Nursing on the 'Net.
abstract: Nurses must prepare for a vastly different health care delivery system in the next millennium. The new system will be consumer focused, consumer driven and technology enabled. Many changes are already underway, with minimal nursing involvement. One such change is Web-based health care. I envision internet nursing, an integral component within an internet health care environment, as an important next step.
