The benefits of a more wired learning experience in nursing education gives nursing students that advantage that is essential to their future success in nursing and ultimately, it leads to better outcomes and improved patient safety (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Preparing nursing students for nursing in the 21st century means that they need to be able to apply and incorporate clinical practice and computer technology. This is one of the reasons that nursing educators are incorporating various forms of technology in their teaching such as simulation, online discussions, information literacy or webinars (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).

McGonigle and Mastrian state that nursing student whose nurse faculty use a traditional face to face lecture retain approximately five percent of the material (2017). Nurse faculty that use a more wired approach to their teaching modality allow student more accessibility and recognizes the individual needs of the student/learner (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Educating nursing students with a more wired approach also may promote continuing professional education during their time in practice (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). 

The force of how quickly health care and technology are advancing is driving the need for nursing students to build a foundation and understanding of how to incorporate technology into their delivery of care (Williamson & Muckle, 2018).  Nursing faculty and nursing schools need to provide the learning opportunities of wired learning for the students to be able to transitions into clinical practice and have the tools needed to deliver the best quality health care.
