AI in Action: Skills and Strategies for a New Era of Nursing
University of Phoenix and LinkedIn are hosting a free, 60-minute webinar on how AI is being used in nursing-what works, what to watch, and the skills that matter right now.
Date: Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026 * Time: 11 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. Arizona / 2 p.m. ET
Why this matters: in a national survey of 7,200 nurses by McKinsey and the American Nurses Foundation, 36% listed "lack of knowledge on how to use AI-based technology and tools" among their top concerns. The takeaway is clear-AI literacy and evaluation skills are becoming part of everyday practice.
"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."
What you'll learn
- Essential AI skills every nurse can start building now
- Practical steps to develop competency and confidence with AI
- How AI can improve efficiency in clinical and administrative tasks
