As advanced practice nurses, you will play a vital role in collaborating with patients, families, and healthcare teams to deliver safe, ethical, and effective care. Core competencies have been developed to guide the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to succeed in this role, from clinical decision making to patient education and interprofessional collaboration.
At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare by improving diagnostics, streamlining administrative tasks, and enhancing patient care. As technology continues to evolve, integrating AI into your clinical practice and understanding its impact on your competencies will be essential for future ready, evidence-based care.
In this discussion, you will reflect on how AI can influence and enhance advanced nursing practice competencies and consider how this course may support your professional development and long-term career goals.
