Purpose This study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' levels of technology addiction and their attitudes toward e‐learning during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Design and Methods The study had a cross‐sectional design and was conducted at a Department of Nursing in a Faculty of Health Sciences in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 434 nurses chosen by stratified sampling method. Findings The nursing students had a low level of technology addiction and mildly positive attitudes toward e‐learning.

Practice Implications Determining the levels of technology addiction and attitudes toward e‐learning in nursing students will help nurse educators in designing curricula and developing e‐learning in this area.
