In this episode, I'm joined by Ali Morin, MSN, RN-BC, CNIO, to talk about a topic that's generating a lot of buzz (and questions): AI in nursing. We dive into how artificial intelligence is already being used in clinical settings—like fall prevention, EMR automation, staffing optimization, and more. Ali shares her journey from pediatric critical care nurse to informatics leader and offers a clear, thoughtful breakdown of what AI can really do for nurses at the bedside. We also explore:

• How AI is helping reduce burnout and documentation overload
• Why trust is a major barrier for nurses with new tech
• What nurse leaders need to know about integrating AI tools
• A hopeful vision of what a med-surg shift could look like 20 years from now
• Insight on her professional nursing journey to informatics

Whether you're a student, new grad, or experienced nurse feeling overwhelmed by clunky workflows—this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a realistic take on where nursing and technology are headed.
