The author in this article introduces a discussion of one school of nursing’s efforts integrating telehealth education into undergraduate and graduate curricula using King’s theory of goal attainment as a guide. The introduction shares a story of loss in a rural setting without access to quality healthcare to highlight the blessing technology may be. However, challenges are discussed that arise through the ubiquitous use of technology in person-to-person communication and relationships.
