Deep Dive into Nursing Education topics using AI

This deep dive discussion pulls from themes from 15 peer-reviewed articles from Nursing Education Perspectives published from early 2023 until early 2025. Reflect on how these themes might translate to your own practice within nursing education. What are the challenges, but also opportunities with this new technology? Enjoy.

This deep dive addresses key factors which may contribute to the shortage, key challenges in recruiting and retaining nurse faculty and ways the nurse faculty shortage may be addressed. The discussion stems from the 2021 report available at National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice (NACNEP) - Preparing Nurse Faculty, and Addressing the Shortage of Nurse Faculty and Clinical Preceptors.

This deep dive provides some thought-provoking discussion around 5 themes generated from the ANA Code of Ethics, 2025 edition, which was just released this month. The 2025 ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses provides a robust framework for guiding nursing education, particularly as technological advancements reshape healthcare and pedagogical approaches. 2025 Code of Ethics for Nurses

This deep dive delves into data and analysis, specifically, NCLEX-RN pass rates for first-time, U.S.-educated RN candidates from 2022 to 2024.  What does the data show from the NCSBN reports and then provides some analysis about factors to consider when examining the continued increase each subsequent year in the different candidate areas. You may have some other thoughts from your perspective as a nurse educator. Link to NCSBN NCLEX Reports.

Today, we’re diving into a game-changer for nurse educators—AI in education. Specifically, we’re breaking down UNESCO’s AI Competency Framework for Teachers—the first global initiative of its kind. What does this mean for nursing education? How can AI transform the way we teach and prepare future nurses?
Join us as we explore key principles, ethical considerations, and real-world applications of AI in nursing education. We’ll discuss how educators can move from understanding AI to integrating it thoughtfully—and even innovating with AI-powered learning experiences.
If you’re a nurse educator, this episode will help you navigate AI’s impact, build competency, and shape the future of healthcare education. So, let’s dive in!

This deep dive conversation explores the white paper released in November 2024 by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare and the AI Simulation Healthcare Collaborative. Highly recommend reading the full white paper which can be found on the AI Simulation Healthcare Collaborative website: https://aisimhealthcollab.org/ai-whitepaper

Creating preparation activities for your simulation can include using generative AI tools to support different ways your learners may connect with information. This deep dive podcast provides an example of providing a generalized overview of the condition of heart failure (HF) and nursing care in an acute care setting. If you use a "ticket" to simulation approach, you can use additional resources created by AI to support a generalized outline on the topic as well as formative assessment activities to create a simple quiz or questions for the learners to complete prior to simulation.

This podcast conversation takes a deep dive into 'teaching tips' provided by nurse educators. The content is pulled from 15 articles published in the Nurse Educator journal starting in early 2023, through early 2025, including early access articles. Note-the term NCLEX is alpha-identified.

This deep dive discusses the research article by Meguerdichian et al. (2024) which examines how common cognitive biases affect healthcare debriefing conversations following simulations. Open Access Article: https://doi.org/10.1186/s41077-024-00324-0. To assist simulation teams to begin to mitigate biases, a ‘Cognitive Bias Observation Checklist’ was developed by Elizabeth Robison, EdD, MSN, RN, CNE, CHSE-A based on this article and assistance of AI, to consider using in professional development for healthcare simulation debriefers. https://bit.ly/40epnSY

Main themes are discussed in this deep dive related to nursing programs transitioning to a concept-based curriculum. What are the challenges, opportunities, and student outcomes related to transitioning to CBC. What are key approaches to educate faculty and students regarding this transition? The discussion content pulls from 26 articles in peer-reviewed nursing education journals: Teaching and Learning in Nursing, Nurse Educator, and Nursing Education Perspective. Note-the term NCLEX is alpha-identified.
