8A: Challenging Assumptions: AI as a Partner in Nursing Education

Friday, September 19 | 2:30 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.

The integration of AI into nursing education reflects a paradigm shift from more traditional modes of teaching. Based on survey responses from over 100 nurse educators, this presentation highlights how AI is being used not to replace instructors, rather as a collaborative agent in developing clinical reasoning, personalizing learning, and better equipping tomorrow's nurses for a technology-laden healthcare environment.
