AI is already part of nursing practice. Risk scores, deterioration alerts, prioritized patient lists, and AI‑assisted documentation tools shape what information reaches nurses every shift often without clear explanation or preparation. This Specialization helps nurses understand what these tools are, how they work, and how to use them responsibly in patient care.
Across three courses, you'll move from recognition to evaluation to application. You'll learn how AI systems are structured, how AI learns from data, where AI can fall short, and how bias enters tools in predictable ways. You'll practice applying that understanding through guided case studies drawn from realistic clinical scenarios in acute care, outpatient, and telehealth settings, and through AI-enabled discussion activities that ask you to bring a tool from your own workflow into the learning.
