Examining the Role of Emerging Technologies in Enhancing Nursing Education and Care

Emerging technologies are transforming nursing education and clinical care by enhancing training methods and improving patient outcomes. This paper explores advancements such as simulation tools, e-learning platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing education. Simulation technologies provide realistic, risk-free environments that foster clinical competency and critical thinking. E-learning platforms offer flexible, accessible learning opportunities, especially beneficial during global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. In clinical care, AI-driven diagnostics, telehealth, and electronic health records (EHRs) optimize treatment accuracy and efficiency, addressing workforce shortages and skill gaps. However, challenges persist, including resistance to change, training deficiencies, and integration issues with existing systems. Financial constraints, especially for smaller institutions, also pose barriers. Future prospects depend on continuous education, fostering innovation, and addressing ethical considerations. This study provides actionable insights for educators, healthcare providers, and policymakers to leverage technology, ensuring enhanced patient care and dynamic learning environments.
