Abstract
Technology has increasingly made its way into most aspects of our lives and has even replaced jobs that were previously performed by people. Technology has become an everyday part of nursing practice, but it could never replace the field of nursing all together as it has for some other careers. Instead, technology has proven itself to be helpful in everyday practice by reducing error and saving time allowing nurses to provide more direct patient care as opposed to documenting and other tedious tasks. Nursing education has also been impacted and improved by the introduction of technology and virtual aspects of learning pre- and post-pandemic. Other technological aspects of healthcare such as telemedicine have also been proven to benefit patients and healthcare workers alike as it becomes increasingly more prevalent.
