      ab: Background: To manage the high volume of generated data and enhance the quality of nursing care in the healthcare system, nurses need informatics competencies including 1) basic computer skills, 2) informatics knowledge and 3) informatics skills. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the informatics competencies of nurses working in hospitals. Methods: The present study was conducted in 2018 on 200 nurses working in hospitals. The tool used to collect data was the localized Staggers standard questionnaire. Results: The results of this study showed that 60.6% of nurses have few capabilities regarding informatics competencies. Also, practicing nurses were more able in the area of informatics knowledge rather than the other two areas of basic computer skills and informatics skills. Conclusion: Informatics competencies of practicing nurses were not at an adequate level which requires the attention of universities and colleges and educational planning in this field.
