The rapid integration of digital technologies in healthcare, including electronic health records (EHRs), telehealth platforms, and mobile health applications, has transformed patient care delivery. While these technologies enhance efficiency and improve outcomes, they also expose sensitive health information to cybersecurity threats. Nurses, as frontline healthcare providers, play a critical role in safeguarding patient data and ensuring safe digital practices. However, nursing curricula often underrepresent the importance of cybersecurity training. This article explores the role of cybersecurity awareness in nursing education, emphasizing the need to prepare students for safe digital healthcare practices. It examines the evolution of healthcare technology, identifies common cybersecurity risks in clinical practice, highlights gaps in nursing education, and proposes strategies for embedding cybersecurity into nursing curricula. By promoting awareness, developing competencies, and fostering a culture of accountability, nursing education can empower future nurses to mitigate cyber threats, uphold patient safety, and adapt to the evolving landscape of digital healthcare.
