3C:  The READY+ Framework: A Holistic Approach to Preparing Novice Nurses for AI-Enhanced Nursing Practice

Thursday, September 18 | 8:15 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. 

The READY+ Framework integrates AI-driven tools with six core domains—Resilience, Empathy, Adaptability, Diversity & Inclusion, Yielding (reflective practice), and Systems Leadership—to prepare novice nurses for complex healthcare environments. This session explores its theoretical foundations, practical applications, and strategies for embedding it into curricula to foster competency-based education and equitable, patient-centered care.
