ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN NURSING EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

This review provides an overview of the possibilities of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in nursing and how it can address the challenges faced by the nursing sector, particularly in nursing education.AI has the potential to significantly transform nursing education by enhancing personalized learning, improving clinical decision making, and providing advanced training simulations.AI tools, such as adaptive learning platforms, natural language processing (NLP), and generative AI, can create tailored educational experiences that cater to individual student needs. Simulation-based learning through Virtual Reality (VR) may offer immersive, hands on practice and enhance clinical skills in a controlled and safe environment.AI technologies can also assist in data analysis and predictive analytics, supporting nurses in making informed clinical decisions.AI-powered telehealth applications could improve access to healthcare and resource efficiency, thereby making healthcare education more inclusive. Additionally, AI has the potential to enhance time management skills and help nursing students optimize their workload, leading to better job performance and patient care. Despite these transformative possibilities, challenges related to data privacy, ethical concerns, resistance from educators, and financial constraints remain.
