This position statement from the American Nurses Association (ANA) incorporates a brief literature review that informs best practices regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing in accordance with the profession’s code of ethics. The ANA is the profession’s preeminent U.S. organization and represents more than 4 million registered nurses. The ANA publishes the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements and works to improve healthcare for all.

This statement makes several recommendations:

The use of AI in nursing practice should not replace nurses’ accountability, knowledge or skill.
Nurses should be aware of the potential for systemic racism and bias in AI programming.
Nurses must protect patients’ personal health data.
Nurses should integrate AI tools into practice when appropriate to support patient care.

There is no stated methodology, acknowledgment of limitations, or questions for further investigation included in this statement.

This peer-reviewed article describes an observational study using descriptive, cross-sectional design in which a self-report survey was administered using purposive sampling to pre-registration masters nursing students to explore their perceived digital literacy skills. The authors are affiliated with two Australian universities: Curtin University and the University of Melbourne. The first author, Janie Brown, PhD, has an h-index of 16. The article’s citation impact is 16. The publishing journal’s five-year journal impact factor is 2.0. Authors’ recommendations related to student nurses’ digital literacy levels include:

embedding nursing informatics and digital literacy competencies in nursing curricula,
peer-/mentor-led teaching, and
replication of technologies used in nursing practice within clinical laboratories and simulation.

Limitations of the study are a small sample size (96 participants) and limited generalizability of results. The authors recommend further study aimed at surveying a more heterogeneous sample of nursing students using the survey, Self-Assessment Nursing Informatics Competencies Scale - SF30 (SANICS).

This double-blind peer-reviewed magazine article is a clinical practice discussion regarding the strengths and weaknesses of artificial intelligence in nursing education. The article outlines many ways that generative AI can be used to enhance nursing education. For instance, GenAI could be used in a simulation exercise to strengthen students’ relational communication skills. Even weaknesses of GenAI could be leveraged as learning opportunities. For instance, an AI tool to detect skin cancer that has been trained using only images of light-skinned people could be used as a case study to highlight bias in healthcare and limitations of AI.
