Purpose: Modern nursing care has been described as a blend of high tech and high touch, a term that describes a nurse's traditional caring and compassion combined with 21st-century health-care technology. Technology can be used in nursing schools to improve learning and student performance. Communication, student participation, and critical thinking are all improved when a technology-infused atmosphere is provided. The study aims to determine the student’s perceptions and expectations regarding technology based nursing education.

Students who were full-time students in class, had enrolled their subjects, were current students, and had signed consent to participate in this study were included. Students who refused to participate and were absent from class were not included in the report. Using easy sampling, a sample size of n=150 nursing department undergraduate students was taken. A self-administered questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data. Throughout the study, participants' identities were kept private to ensure human subject safety. Data were analyzed using software SPSS (statistical package for social science studies) version 21.
Results: Demographic characteristics of participants in which Level of the study and programmed of the study included. Minimum students 24(16.0) of the 4th year and maximum students 53(35.3%) from undergraduate 94(62.7%) and postgraduate 56(37.3%) were participate in this study.
