This paper focuses on the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the nursing workforce, examining both the opportunities presented by AI in relieving nurses of routine tasks and enabling better patient care, and the potential challenges it poses. The discussion highlights the freeing of nurses' time from administrative duties, allowing for more patient interaction and professional development, while also acknowledging concerns about job displacement. Ethically integrating AI into patient care and the need for nurses' proactive engagement with AI—including involvement in its development and integration in nursing education—are emphasized. Finally, the paper asserts the necessity for nurses to become active participants in AI's evolution within health care to ensure the enhancement of patient care and the advancement of nursing roles.
