Abstract

The integration of technology into nursing education has revolutionized the training and preparation of future nurses, enhancing both the learning experience and patient care outcomes. This paper explores the current trends and tools shaping modern nursing education, focusing on the impact of digital resources, simulation technologies, and online learning platforms. As healthcare increasingly relies on advanced technology, nursing programs are adopting innovative teaching methods that promote active learning, critical thinking, and clinical competence. Simulation-based learning environments, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) applications provide nursing students with realistic scenarios to practice their skills in a safe and controlled setting. Furthermore, the rise of online education has made nursing programs more accessible, enabling diverse learners to pursue their degrees while balancing personal and professional commitments. This study examines the challenges and benefits associated with these technological advancements, emphasizing the need for nursing educators to adapt curricula that leverage technology to enhance student engagement and preparedness. Ultimately, this paper advocates for the continued evolution of nursing education through technology, highlighting its essential role in equipping future nurses to meet the complexities of modern healthcare.
