Abstract The current education trend in the world confirms the meaningfulness and relevance of e-learning integration into the academic and professional environment. Studies focusing on this form of education point to many benefits in nursing training for the profession. The main objective of this survey is to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning education in the healthcare teaching process. The survey has a character of overview investigation. The source of gathered information were citations of database PubMed, Medline and BMS, which investigation ran from November 2017 to January 2018. The total 25 scientific and professional articles were used in the survey from the period 2002-2017. The studied group were students and teachers involved in the learning process through e-learning.  E-learning education allows students to be independent and flexible in studying, to develop technical skills, critical thinking and cognitive skills. It empowers teachers to personal and professional growth, development of technical skills. However, e-learning is more effective when it is combined with direct contact of student and teacher/tutor. E-learning is a suitable complementary method of traditional education that current pedagogical practice requires.
