The integration of social media into nursing education has emerged as a transformative approach to enhance student engagement, collaboration, and knowledge dissemination. This study explores nursing students’ perceptions of the role and effectiveness of social media within the nursing curriculum. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from undergraduate nursing students through structured questionnaires and focus group discussions. The findings indicate that students perceive social media platforms as valuable tools for interactive learning, peer support, and access to up-to-date clinical information. Participants reported improved communication skills, increased motivation, and enhanced understanding of complex nursing concepts through the use of platforms such as discussion forums, educational videos, and professional networking sites. However, concerns related to information credibility, distraction, privacy, and professional boundaries were also highlighted. The study underscores the need for structured guidelines and faculty supervision to maximize the educational benefits of social media while minimizing potential risks. Incorporating social media strategically into the nursing curriculum can foster digital literacy and prepare students for modern healthcare environments.
