Abstract

Artificial intelligence revolutionizes nursing informatics and healthcare by enhancing patient outcomes and healthcare access while streamlining nursing workflow. These advancements, while promising, have sparked debates on traditional nursing ethics like patient data handling and implicit bias. The key to unlocking the next frontier in holistic nursing care lies in nurses navigating the delicate balance between artificial intelligence and the core values of empathy and compassion. Mindful utilization of artificial intelligence coupled with an unwavering ethical commitment by nurses may transform the very essence of nursing.
