By Hwayoung Cho, PhD, RN Have you ever drafted a paragraph for a class assignment, presentation, literature review, patient education handout or research manuscript and then asked an AI tool, “Can you find citations to support this?” That workflow is becoming increasingly common. In the past, many of us…
By Tamara G. R. Macieira, PhD, RN, and Bryce Catarelli, DNP, APRN, FNP-C Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how care is delivered and experienced. While AI holds tremendous potential to reduce documentation burden and enhance patient-centered care, its integration requires careful consideration of…
By Raga Bjarnadottir, PhD, MPH As our longtime readers know, the FloGatorAI blog releases two seasonal AI Prompt Cookbooks each year. These are intended to be practical guides to help nurses experiment with generative AI (see definition and background in the December 2024 post). But as AI…
By Dr. Lisiane Pruinelli, PhD, MSc, RN, FAMIA, FAAN At the American Medical Informatics Association 2025 Annual Symposium, one message was loud and clear: Artificial Intelligence is not the future; it is now. But how we shape it today will determine whether it serves nurses and patients…
By Hwayoung Cho, PhD, RN Have you ever clicked the wrong button in an electronic health record, hesitated while using a mobile health app, or struggled to find the right field in another clinical system? Or maybe you’ve paused for a moment while programming a smart infusion pump, unsure…
Nurses Are Leading the Conversation on Responsible AI Nurses are natural innovators. They work tirelessly to use the cutting edge of technology for better health outcomes, whether they are supporting individual patient encounters, leading system changes or advancing precision environmental health. But they cannot champion environmental health while ignoring…
In a recent blog post, we explored how treating AI like a junior teammate rather than a static tool helps nurses get the most out of generative AI. When we guide, question and validate these systems, they can amplify our thinking, reduce cognitive load and spark new ideas. But…
By: Lisiane Pruinelli and Tamara Macieira What if we told you that within the next few years, every nurse entering the workforce could be equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to safely and effectively use artificial intelligence (AI)? Not as a distant dream, but as a direct…
By: Ragnhildur (Raga) I. Bjarnadottir What if the next big leap in nursing practice isn’t about mastering new tech, but about reframing how we relate to it? Since generative AI like ChatGPT and other AI-powered chatbots have hit the mainstream, many people have treated them like advanced search engines…
By Lisiane Pruinelli Imagine if nurses could anticipate environmental risks people face, not after symptoms appear, but before. This is the promise of precision environmental health — an emerging field that integrates environmental exposure data with personal health characteristics to generate real-time, individualized insights. It moves us from vague public health…
