During the first cases of SARS in China in 2003, a virtual digital environment consisting of 11

labs in 9 countries connected by information technology and communication was developed and
results of tissue analysis after death, electron microscope images of viruses, genetic sequences,
and other related data were shared by E-mails and a safe website.[18] The above case is an
obvious example of the role of technology entering health care. In the nursing profession,
technology development and electronic communication have resulted in increasing nurses'
knowledge, acceleration of data interchange, and improvement in time-saving. On the other
hand, technology improvement and developing nursing services sites facilitate the availability of
needed information and cares. Thus, nursing absolutely is affected by technology and
information. Advances in education, telenursing, telemedical education, moving toward health
electronic files, and nursing knowledge management are some examples of this claim. However,
one of the concerns in this issue that seems logical is ignoring the spirituality, because human is
a biological, psychological, and social entity and communication, caring, and treatment
regardless of the human spirit and emotional relationship is incomplete. Hence, concern about
less emotion due to technology development in the nursing profession, is a true critic.

Higher education in nursing

Baumann and Blythe stated that in today's world, the need for skilled and educated people like
nurses has increased. Regarding them, America, Australia, and Britain have had vital roles in
training nurses in higher-level educations. They described higher education development is
possible in three ways: First, traveling and migration of students to receive these educations.
Second, using distant learning, and third, educational institutes of one country that Have
established branches in another country.[1] Regarding these statements, higher education of
nurses is considerably affected by globalization, particularly if the three ways mentioned above
are considered, it is obvious that they are affected by globalization. For example, in Iran, which
is a developing country, the first way has been more common, but increasing in the other two
ways as a result of globalization in the coming years is not surprising. Currently, in Iran, we have
a master degree and doctorate. Based on the Iran Nursing Association website, attempts to get a
doctorate degree began in the 1980s in Iran, and the first doctorate student began academic
studying in 1995 in Tabriz, Iran.[19] Accepting doctorate students began about 20 years ago in
Iran; however, it might be due to globalization because the first attempts for this purpose were by
graduates of other countries who had returned to Iran. The authors could not find the exact
statistics of graduates in Iran by using the nursing association and health ministry websites.
Although currently higher education development is under critics by some criticisms and can be
considered a threat or a challenge, because they believe that under current circumstances, we are
in a lack of clinical nurses, accepting higher education students must be matched with colleges
needs not more. Arani-Mansouri, in his paper, has stated that one of the biggest problems in
higher education is the lack of regulations and scientific guidelines for using these specialists in
clinics. Particularly in recruiting nursing doctorates, there is an obvious concern for
mismanagement of them in a clinical position, and there is not yet enough potential job for them.
[20] However, in the present paper, higher education development has been considered one of
the positive consequences of globalization, considering its identity that is one of the facilitating
elements of the professionalizing process, profession independence, and social prestige of
nursing.
