The integration of multimedia tools in teaching practical skills has significantly enhanced learning effectiveness. However, effective teaching and learning are often hindered by disinterested teachers, students, and educational policymakers who fail to recognize the value of multimedia in skill development. Multimedia serves as a vital resource for teaching, learning, and research in academic institutions. Thus, evaluating the use of multimedia tools is essential for improving their application across schools and colleges. This study aimed to examine the usage, knowledge, perceived benefits, and challenges of multimedia tools in practical skill development among student nurses at Lagos State College of Nursing, Igando, Lagos State, employing a quantitative research design. The study adopted a descriptive approach and focused on 92 first- and second-year student nurses. Data were collected through a selfadministered questionnaire and analysed using tables, frequency distributions, bar charts, and percentages. Findings revealed that 57% of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge about the use of multimedia tools. Half (50%) acknowledged the benefits of multimedia tools in enhancing practical skills. A majority (66%) pointed out existing barriers such as unreliable power supply and lack of funds for acquiring necessary resources. Based on these results, the study concludes that student nurses generally possess a reasonable understanding of the use and advantages of multimedia tools in practical skills. The study recommends that nursing students consistently enhance their knowledge and application of multimedia tools. Additionally, efforts should be made to address and improve the factors affecting the effective use of multimedia in practical education
