Description: Nursing faculties' attitudes toward and access to the use of computerized instruction in developing advanced problem-solving skills in undergraduate degree nursing programs were examined. A sample of 184 community college faculty members and 53 university faculty members completed a questionnaire which included the following: attitudes toward computerized instruction; access to the use of computerized instruction; and the use of computerized instruction to teach advanced problem-solving skills. Data were analyzed in relation to their frequencies, percentages and central tendencies. The overall mean for faculties' attitudes toward computerized instruction was 3.01; faculties' access to computerized instruction was 84 percent; and 46 percent of faculty used computerized instruction to develop advanced problem solving skills in their undergraduate nursing students. It was noted that despite most faculty having access to computerized instruction, their attitudes toward computerized instruction were indecisive and use in developing advanced problem solving skills in their students was very limited.
