Guiding the Shift: Preparing RN-to-BSN Graduates for Leadership in the AI-Driven Caring Economy

This presentation examines the critical role of nursing faculty in preparing students for the age of Artificial Intelligence. It opens by framing the debate on AI's impact on work and asserts that authentic human connection and caring are domains AI cannot replicate. The central question posed is how nursing can lead this transformation rather than merely adapting to it.
