The research instrument used in the study was “The Questionnaire of Nursing Students’ Self-evaluated Information Literacy Competency” (Cronbach’s α 0.90). The 808 subjects were senior baccalaureate nursing students from three nursing schools located in northern Taiwan. The effective response rate was 95.9%. Date was analyzed by SPSS12 software with descriptive analysis, t test, one way ANOVA and spearman correlation analysis. The findings showed the mean information literacy competency among the subjects was 3.1 (4 point Likert Scale). Also, the baccalaureate nursing students had higher information literacy competencies than two-year nursing college students. Additionally, the information literacy competencies were significantly positive associated with hours of surfing internet per day, performance in General English Proficiency Test, the academic achievement rank of the class, the frequency of using library, the participation of the educational activity sponsored by libraries, and the learning requirement of the educators. To promote nursing students’ information literacy competency, the following learning activities are recommended in the nursing curriculum: journal searching, introduction to MEDLINE or CINAHL, searching and organizing books and reference materials, and oral presentation with PowerPoint.
