Overview

AI does not replace nurses. It relocates the weight of decision-making onto them. Artificial intelligence is now embedded in hospitals through early-warning systems, continuous monitoring, predictive alerts, staffing algorithms, and automated documentation. These systems promise efficiency and safety. What they actually do is change where judgment lives-and who carries responsibility when things go wrong. AI for Nurses examines what happens when machines predict and humans must act. Nurses receive algorithmic alerts, interpret probabilities, escalate concerns, and absorb the consequences of decisions they do not control. Doctors decide. Systems predict. Nurses stand at the bedside translating machine output into human care, carrying moral and professional responsibility in environments increasingly shaped by automation. This book is not a technical guide and not a celebration of innovation. It is a clear-eyed examination of how artificial intelligence transforms nursing work by compressing time, increasing cognitive load, fragmenting authority, and intensifying moral pressure. It explores why AI often demands more nursing judgment rather than less, why alert fatigue is only the surface of a deeper moral fatigue, and why responsibility continues to flow downward even as authority remains out of reach. Drawing directly from real clinical realities, the book examines: Where nurses encounter AI first-and why it feels like interruption, not assistance The authority gap between prediction and action How algorithmic alerts create moral risk without granting power Why documentation, staffing, and monitoring systems quietly erode professional agency How nursing judgment becomes more essential as automation expands Written for nurses, nurse leaders, educators, and healthcare decision-makers, AI for Nurses reframes artificial intelligence as an organizational force rather than a neutral tool. It challenges the assumption that technology reduces burden and shows why, without deliberate governance, AI shifts that burden onto the very professionals least empowered to resist it. AI will continue to advance. Nursing will continue to carry what systems cannot. This book gives language to that reality-and a framework for understanding what comes next.
