Abstract

Using information technology is the required core competency according to Thailand’s qualification framework for undergraduate nurse.  Nurses need to obtain computer literacy, information literacy, and informatics skills in order to practice within the environment of a technological society after graduation. Nowadays, electronic communications through social media is a medium to reach people at all levels. Expansion of communication through social media promotes involvement between patients and nurses. Although the use of social media in nursing education is still a novelty, a literature review provides suggestions on using social media as part of promoting the learning performance and management of nursing education.  This article presents an example of using social media for consideration in order to choose the right social media for nursing education.
