Drs. Raga Bjarnadottir and Tamara Macieira explore how nurses can use generative AI to strengthen evidence-based practice, while keeping critical appraisal and clinical judgment firmly in nurses’ hands.

Their latest article also introduces the FloGatorAI Prompt Cookbook, built around Sackett’s five-step EBP cycle to help nurses use AI as a thinking partner, not a replacement for clinical judgment.
