In recent years, there has been a fast spread of using new technologies and software in health management areas. Nursing education should be accommodated with this change to provide qualified nurses. There are little studies on novice nursing faculty challenges to perform their new roles in relation to IT literacy, specifically in Iran. Qualitative approach may provide first hand data to understand novice nursing faculty perceptions on their new roles that can be used to develop an actual empowerment program. A qualitative design was applied to explore novice nursing faculty experiences to perform their new roles in Mashhad nursing school (Iran). Data were gathered by in depth unstructured interviews from nine eligible participants. Two main themes related to IT competencies emerged from data as: "Efficiency concern" and "Importance of support". Findings support that novice faculty should be familiarized with new systems and software in health management.
