Additional Information
AI is already reshaping healthcare, and it will directly impact the nursing profession. With adoption moving quickly, many nurses feel like they are trying to catch up.
That is why the Georgia Nurses Association, in partnership with the Georgia Center for Nursing Excellence, is launching AI Readiness for Nursing Professionals, a four-session course built for nurses at every career stage, including current and emerging leaders, educators, and frontline professionals. You will gain a clear, practical understanding of what AI is and is not, where it already affects nursing work, how to manage ethical and privacy risks, how to use AI appropriately, and how to build your skills over time. Sessions are live for real-time Q&A, and recordings will be available if you cannot attend live. Visit the Georgia Nurses Association website to learn more and reserve your spot.
