Technology is basically the scientific use of knowledge to solve problems practically, which also includes the invention of modern and useful tools and techniques. Objectives: To check the Nursing Students Knowledge About Utilization of Information and Communication Technologies Facilities. Methods: A questionnaire based cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students. Questionnaire comprised of different question regarding the factors influencing ICT usage and nursing students knowledge towards the use of ICT. The questionnaire was distributed among hundred nursing students. Results: Students have good knowledge about ICT, but their use is limited. ICT facilities like photocopier, printer, E-library and functional ICT laboratories were lacking. Unreliable power supply, a lack of ICT technical support, and a lack of managerial encouragement were identified as the culprits. Conclusions: ICT resources were scarce, and there were no basic amenities. The use of ICT is largely impacted by unstable power supplies, a lack of technical assistance for ICT, and a lack of management motivation and support.
