This Delphi study aimed to identify and validate a set of digital communication competencies essential for contemporary nurse leadership. A two round Delphi process engaged a diverse panel of 29 nurse leaders to evaluate proposed competencies derived from literature and practice. Through both qualitative feedback and quantitative consensus (≥70% agreement), nine key competencies were confirmed: Ethical Digital Communication, Digital Leadership Presence, Engagement and Advocacy, Digital Inclusivity, Boundaries, Networking, Branding, Storytelling, and Measuring Digital Impact. The framework is grounded in established leadership theories, including e-leadership, transformational, and situational leadership. These competencies provide a much-needed foundation to inform leadership development, digital literacy initiatives, and strategic communication efforts in nursing.
