Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 369 students studying at the nursing department of a university who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study.. Personal Information Form and “Attitude Scale Towards Mobile Learning” were used to collect the data. Ethics committee permission and institution permit were obtained for the implementation of the research. Students were informed about the study and informed consents were obtained. Data was analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program. Results: All students used cellphone/smartphone. 64.0% of them thought mobile learning was useful for both theoretical and practical lessons. 88.6% of the students were found to use mobile devices for research purpose. Attitudes of the students towards mobile learning were determined at the moderately positive level (Total score of Attitude Scale Towards Mobile Learning:160.15±23.79). It was found that those who think that mobile learning is not useful in their lessons have a statistically significant lower total score and the satisfaction sub-dimension score than others (p: 0.000; p: 0.000). Conclusion: Students’ widely usage of mobile devices especially smartphones, their enthusiasm to benefit from them and positive attitudes towards mobile learnings indicate mobile devices can be used in nursing education. In this context, it is recommended that related research about mobile device usage in nursing education must be increased and studies which research students’ experiences in this field must be conducted.}, number={2}, publisher={Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi}
