What you learn

What you will be able to do

Explain in plain words how a large language model and a clinical prediction model work, and why each can be wrong; write de-identified prompts that give useful drafts; use AI to structure SBAR handovers and to write patient education at the right reading level; trace how information flows through patient care and where errors enter; build a simple custom assistant (a ChatGPT project or a Gemini Gem) from approved documents; work out what an AI alert's sensitivity, specificity and PPV mean on your ward; recognise bias; and work within India's DPDP Act, ICMR guidance and hospital policy.

The course project

Optional practice that ends in the kind of job the course prepares you for, with the documents that go with it.

About 7 hours

Introducing an approved AI assistant on two medical wards: a pilot plan, a risk register, a safe-use procedure and a training record

Plan the safe introduction of a hospital-approved AI assistant for nursing documentation support and patient education on two medical wards, as the nurse leading the pilot: write the pilot plan, build the risk register, write the ward safe-use procedure, and record the training of every nurse before they use it. The sample pack shows each document for a district hospital. No real patient information is used anywhere.

Sample document pack, 4 documents, filled in for the scenario

PlanPilot plan: AI assistant for discharge teaching and SBAR handover, wards 5A and 5B
Risk registerRisk register: AI assistant pilot, wards 5A and 5B
ProcedureSafe use of the AI assistant on wards 5A and 5B
Training recordTraining record: AI assistant pilot, wards 5A and 5B

Read inside the course and download as a workbook. The project is optional practice, marked when you submit it; the certificate needs only the modules and the final assessment.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this course clinical advice?

No. It teaches nurses and healthcare staff how to use AI tools safely in their own work: writing, documentation support, patient education, judging tools, and the privacy and ethics around them. It never tells you how to care for a patient, and nothing in it replaces your assessment, your policies or your professional judgement.

Who is the AI for Nurses and Healthcare Staff course for?

Registered nurses, nursing students, midwives and other ward and clinic staff. Doctors will find a separate course written for them.

Do I need coding or statistics?

No coding. The only statistics are sensitivity, specificity and predictive value, worked through with simple tables, and the arithmetic you already use for fluids and doses.

Can I use patient information in the exercises?

No. Every exercise uses invented or de-identified cases. The course teaches you never to put identifiable patient information into a public AI tool.

How long does the AI for Nurses and Healthcare Staff course take?

About nine and a half hours of lessons, notes and practice, which fits into two to four weeks around shifts. The optional project adds about seven hours.

What is the project in the AI for Nurses and Healthcare Staff course?

You plan the introduction of a hospital-approved AI assistant on two medical wards: a pilot plan, a risk register, a one-page safe-use procedure and a training record, with a filled-in sample pack to follow. Every patient in it is invented.

Is the AI for Nurses and Healthcare Staff course really free?

Yes. Every module, the notes, the project and the final assessment are free. The certificate is optional.

What certificate does the AI for Nurses and Healthcare Staff course give?

An EDWartens Certificate of Completion when you pass the final assessment, with a number anyone can verify on our site. It is not a nursing qualification, a registration requirement or continuing education credit, and we never describe it as one.

Is the AI for Nurses and Healthcare Staff course free in India, and what does the certificate cost?

Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹499 including GST for this beginner course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.
