AINURSE Framework

AI Nurse Education Consultants

Based on the position statements from the ANA, QSEN, ACEN, and CCNE, AI Nurse Consultants researched and developed the AINURSE Framework. The guiding principle of the framework is to ensure that AI doesn't replace human intelligence but is utilized as a tool to enhance the educator's effectiveness. The framework is used as a guide and template to ensure efficacy and safety in the utilization of AI within Nursing Education Programs.
