Critical thinking is one of the most important skills you’ll ever develop as a new nurse  but it doesn’t come overnight. In this episode of Life After Nursing School, Nurse Career Coach Caroline shares how you can use ChatGPT as a practical tool to strengthen your clinical judgment and build confidence at the bedside.

You’ll learn how to apply ChatGPT to the nursing process (ADPIE) - Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation - and discover how it can help you practice patient scenarios, debrief after tough shifts, break down complex topics like lab values and medications, run prioritization drills, and even role-play SBAR handoffs or provider calls.

Caroline also highlights creative ways new nurses and nursing students are already using ChatGPT, from creating study tools for NCLEX prep to brainstorming strategies for orientation success. With real-life examples and actionable takeaways, this episode will show you how to use ChatGPT as a safe, judgment-free sandbox to practice and refine your thinking - so you can feel more prepared, confident, and capable in your nursing career.

If you’re ready to go beyond memorization and start thinking like a nurse, this episode is for you.
