Faculty are using AI anyway.  The contradiction is that faculty concern and faculty adoption are happening at the same time. One source cited in your session materials reports that 77% of...

Prompt skills are a starting point, not expertise. Nurses and educators must move beyond basic tool usage to develop deeper knowledge about bias, governance, and how AI integrates into clinical and educational workflows. Precision matters in how we talk about AI competence. If we confuse AI...
