University of Phoenix and LinkedIn to Host “AI in Action” Nursing Webinar

University of Phoenix and LinkedIn will host a free webinar, "AI in Action: Skills and Strategies for a New Era of Nursing," on Thursday, Jan. 22, at 11 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. Arizona / 2 p.m. ET. Designed for nurses and healthcare professionals navigating rapid change, the 60-minute session will explore practical ways artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare, and the essential skills nurses can build to stay ready for what's next.

In a national survey of 7,200 nurses conducted by McKinsey and the American Nurses Foundation, 36% of nurse respondents ranked "lack of knowledge on how to use AI-based technology and tools" among their top three concerns about AI in healthcare—underscoring the need for nurses to build AI literacy and evaluation skills.

"Artificial intelligence is moving quickly from concept to day-to-day reality in healthcare," said Raelene Brooks, Ph.D., RN, Dean of the College of Nursing at University of Phoenix. "This webinar is focused on practical skills, real examples, and the considerations nurses should keep in mind as AI tools influence both clinical and administrative workflows."

During the session, attendees will explore:

• Essential AI skills every nurse should build
