The smartphone, bringing together the communication and information technologies, is a device that offers an easily and friendly access to the information. Mobile health applications (apps) are increasing popular and could become an integral part of our daily lives, no matter if we are students or health care professionals. Having the support and agreement of the leadership of the hospitals and health institutions, the nurse community is starting to use this technology in many different areas. The goal of this paper is to present the advantages and benefits of using the mobile health apps (mHealth apps) in nursing, to identify some mHealth apps for different specific nursing activities, to identify which competencies are needed to use those apps and to provide a way to evaluate the nursing apps.
