BMC Nursing is calling for submissions to our Collection on the digitalization of the nursing profession. Modern healthcare is increasingly being supported and supplemented by the implementation of digital resources. As members of the largest healthcare profession, it is vital that nurses adapt to these new digital means of working to become more capable of performing their roles in a digitally-driven world. Likewise, these new healthcare resources must also serve to benefit nurses. This Collection seeks to highlight research focused on the implementation and usage of digital health resources within the nursing profession.
