The rapid integration of digital health technologies, nursing informatics, and artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed modern nursing practice, education, and healthcare delivery. Nurses are increasingly required to develop digital competencies to provide safe, effective, and patient-centered care in technology-driven environments. Information and communication technologies improve healthcare quality, clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes. Artificial intelligence is influencing several nursing domains, including clinical practice, administration, research, and education, through applications such as predictive analytics, virtual assistants, and intelligent monitoring systems. The growing use of digital technologies highlights the need for nursing education reform and competency-based training. Educational institutions are incorporating informatics and AI competencies into nursing curricula through innovative teaching strategies such as electronic health record simulations and mobile learning technologies. Nurse leaders also play a key role in supporting digital transformation and technology adoption within healthcare organizations. Continuous professional development is essential to prepare nurses for evolving digital healthcare systems and to ensure quality and evidence-based patient care.
