Abstract
Innovation and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are essential in addressing the evolving challenges in healthcare, enhancing patient care, and supporting nursing practice. This article explores the opportunities associated with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in nursing, considerations for how to leverage it to augment the work of nursing, and strategies to accelerate its adoption. By engaging in interprofessional collaboration, leveraging technology, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, nurses can lead transformative changes in healthcare delivery. The article also highlights case studies from Mercy and Mayo Clinic, demonstrating the practical implications and successful implementation of AI in nursing practice. These examples emphasize the importance of strategic planning, ethical considerations, and active involvement of frontline nurses in the design and adoption of AI technologies.
