Abstract
Genomic nursing, a field that bridges genetics with nursing practice, is at the forefront of ushering healthcare into an era of heightened precision. In recent decades, genomic advancements have deepened our understanding of the genetic foundations of diseases and individual responses to therapies. However, despite its significance, nurses' knowledge and practical experience in genomic nursing remain limited, particularly in the context of patient care. The ubiquity of genetic factors in healthcare, compounded by nurses' challenges in elucidating genetic implications, forecasting inheritance, and applying genetic screening, underscores the pressing need to integrate genomic nursing into nursing education curricula. The integration of genomic nursing holds the promise of several benefits. It equips nurses to comprehend the genetic basis of diseases, provide better genetic counseling, identify potential medication side effects, and advocate for genetic disease screening. Overcoming the challenges requires revising nursing education curricula and supplementary training for practicing nurses. Widespread support for the integration of genomic nursing into nursing education from governmental bodies, professional organizations, and educational institutions is imperative to equip future nurses with the necessary proficiency to navigate the ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
