In an era of increasing medical technology, changing modes of communication, and expanding professional nursing roles, ethical, legal, and social issues in the field of nursing nursing care increases. Nurses operate in situations that subject them to ethical, legal and social challenges on a daily basis. These questions relate to legislative changes and the ethics of medical technologies aimed at helping nurses provide better patient care. They govern issues of confidentiality, practice, medical matters and the expectations that society places on nurses. The nursing profession has undergone radical development and change since its inception. Technology has contributed greatly to the development of the nursing profession. The changing demographics of society, the increase in complex health care knowledge, and the growing gaps within the nursing profession have led health care professionals and managers to call for an overhaul of the health care system (Cowen & Moorhead, 2006). Most recommendations for change in the nursing profession suggest increased use of technology that can make nursing practice more effective. Information technology has the ability to accomplish more than just increasing efficiency. Information technology is seen as part of the change in healthcare delivery, as opposed to the automation of existing processes. This means it has the potential to change nursing processes within facilities and create a supportive caring relationship between nurses and patients. The adoption of technology in the nursing profession, specifically in the workplace, has been possible through the interactions between technical skills, workplace culture, and social support. Nursing requires information technology to promote the use of information technology in its practice. Information technology issues should be applied to nursing practice to help nurses respond appropriately to improved health care. ConclusionInformation technology has helped transform the nursing profession over the years. This has helped make the professional a unique and distinct profession. The nursing profession is important in society because it deals with health problems. Therefore, information technology issues help ensure that patients receive appropriate health care and nurses work in favorable working conditions. Improvements in information technology issues have contributed to the improvement of the profession over the years. Therefore, nurses must embrace information technology and take advantage of future developments in the nursing profession, as it plays a vital role in practice..
