You're on the frontline of AI adoption — you deserve the right tools to navigate it

With generative AI entering many areas of clinical practice, you may be expected to adopt new tools with little guidance on reliability, accuracy, or safety. Inaccurate or unvetted information can call clinical decisions into question — and put patients at risk.

The Gen AI Academy for Nursing gives you the foundational knowledge, critical thinking skills, and practical confidence to bring AI into your workflows responsibly — backed by Elsevier's evidence-based content and clinical expertise.

Nurses see the potential — but the trust gap is real.

In Elsevier's Clinician of the Future 2026: Nurses Edition:

  • 53% of nurses said AI tools give them more choice in clinical decisions

  • 51% said the tools make them feel empowered in their role

  • 42% say they trust AI tools today

Closing that gap starts with understanding how these tools work, where they fall short and how to use them safely.
