Abstract
BACKGROUND
Technological advances have expanded nursing education to include generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT.
PROBLEM
Generative AI tools challenge academic integrity, pose a challenge to validating information accuracy, and require strategies to ensure the credibility of AI-generated information.
APPROACH
This article presents a dual-purpose approach integrating AI tools into prelicensure nursing education to enhance learning while promoting critical evaluation skills. Constructivist theories and Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development framework support this integration, with AI as a scaffold for developing critical thinking.
OUTCOMES
The approach involves practical activities for students to engage with AI-generated content critically, thereby reinforcing clinical judgment and preparing them for AI-prevalent health care environments.
CONCLUSIONS
Incorporating AI tools such as ChatGPT into nursing curricula represents a strategic educational advancement, equipping students with essential skills to navigate modern health care.
