Introduction:

The utilization of modern digital resources in teaching constitutes a strategy to address the new learning needs. In the area of nursing, the use of digital resources can facilitate the insertion of students into the clinical practice by providing a virtual environment in which students can develop their skills and competencies.

Objective:

To analyze the evidence regarding the utilization of technologies in nursing teaching.

Methods:

This is an integrative review based on the SciELO publications and IBECS, LILACS, BDENF, Web of Science, PubMed and CINAHL databases.

Results:

62 relevant articles were identified. After considering the exclusion criteria, a final sample with 26 articles was constituted. The studies were read and analyzed, and it was found that the diverse technologies are more frequently utilized in conjunction with theory classes in classrooms, as online teaching platforms, or as auxiliary tools to support realistic simulations.

Discussion:

The use of the Internet was prevalent in the analyzed studies. Regarding some teaching digital platforms, virtual spaces showed being useful to create diverse teaching-learning activities; with simulations being helpful to prepare students to enter the professional practice.

Conclusions:

This study presents a general view of the educational technologies utilized in nursing teaching, while displaying some specific methodologies which can be of benefit for both students and teachers.
