Changes in the nature and form of nursing education are reflected by the fact many courses in the field are offered online. Moduless that are essential in e-learning are mandatory as well as helpful in undergraduate and post-graduate nursing education. Social media has been integrated into nursing education through the instructor using the platform as a way to supplement material taught in the formal classroom environment, proving beneficial to nursing education given that social media is not only cheap but also convenient. However, many barriers exist regarding the use of social media to promote nursing education, and addressing these barriers is critical for enhancing its successful integration. The primary objective of this paper is to explore the use of social media in nursing education.
