Abstract
Growth in use of digital technology for leisure and learning has created
challenges for healthcare environments globally. Its rapid evolution in nursing
continues to outpace the more sporadic updating of registered nurse standards,
guidelines and codes of professional conduct. Revised standards in Australia and the
United Kingdom establish the contemporary governance context for the educational
preparation of registered nurses. A document analysis of these standards reveals an
omit of guidance regarding the expected knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour
of undergraduate nurses about when and how to access and use of digital technology
on campus, and during work integrated learning. Documents governing nursing do
not currently foster the development of digital professionalism, an essential
component of professional identity formation, which is necessary to acquire prior to
graduation as a registered nurse.
