The nursing profession, rooted in compassion and clinical excellence, is undergoing a profound transformation driven by digital technology. Historically grounded in hands-on care, nursing education and practice are now evolving rapidly in response to technological advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI), telehealth, electronic health records (EHRs), and simulation-based learning. These tools are reshaping how nurses are trained and how they deliver care. The integration of technology is not just an option—it is imperative for preparing nurses to meet the complex, data-driven, and patient-centered challenges of modern healthcare systems. This article explores how technology is reshaping nursing education and practice, identifies opportunities and challenges, and outlines a roadmap for a tech-enabled future of care.
