Our study included 100 undergraduate nursing students of XXX University evaluated by O’Connor finger dexterity test. The study demonstrated that males were careful and willing to take care of their patients but they felt they are at the backstage because the occupation is a female predominant one. They were careful during the O’Connor test. The average test duration of female and male students was similar. Students with longer hand and palm lengths had better hand-dexterity. Because wrist circumference and width were more in males than females; this provided advantage to males.

Creativity in nursing education is an essential competence in fostering nursing learners; as both creative and critical thinking skills are needed to identify issues and create critical solutions to improve learners’ cognitive attributes and reflection and engagement in learning by developing assessment strategies and inspiring internal motivation for lifelong learning during various teaching activities.

Using social media tools, such as Blogs, Twitter, Wikis, Facebook and YouTube in nursing education develops critical reflection skills, promotes life-long learning and supports decision-making skills. While the risks raise privacy concerns regarding the interactions among learners and between learners and educators. Hence, nurse educators and learners must be aware of e-professionalism when using social media, and how to separate their personal and professional life to communicate with peers, patients, family and friends.
