Abstract:
The integration of social media in higher education, particularly among nursing students, presents opportunities and challenges. This phenomenological qualitative study delved into the experiences of 16 graduating bachelor of science in nursing students regarding their social media use throughout their nursing program. Findings revealed three prominent themes: no time for drama, new ways of learning, and staying close to community of support. This research provides insight into how nursing students use social media. Further research is recommended on social media use in higher education.
