Founder - Sean Shoemaker
Hi, I'm Sean.
I'm a nurse with over a decade of experience across integrative medicine, behavioral health, and biofeedback therapy. Much of my career has been focused on helping people build skills they can put into practice. That has meant helping patients build practical tools for pain, stress, sleep, and resilience, and helping nurses, physicians, and interdisciplinary teams connect symptoms and diagnoses to evidence-informed integrative options that fit a person's interests, condition, and capabilities. Over time, I have learned how to translate complex concepts into language people can trust, and how to teach in a way that is pragmatic, patient, and built for real life.
I never imagined I would end up teaching nurses about AI. But as I started learning these tools myself and saw how many nurses were running into the same gaps, I recognized an unexpected connection to everything I had been doing all along: helping people connect the dots, build new skills, and create habits that stick.
My approach to teaching
Learning looks different for everyone. Some people need the "why" before they try anything. Others need to see it once, then practice with support. Some need repetition. Some need to watch a mistake happen, then learn how to catch it. My approach is to start where you are and build from there.
That is also why I chose the word preceptor. In nursing, a preceptor is not a lecturer. A preceptor works alongside you, shows you how things happen in practice, and helps guide you while you build confidence. That is what I want The AI Preceptor to be: a guide who walks with you through real-world AI use, not someone handing you a manual and wishing you luck.
What you can expect here
Practical AI education for nursing work: real friction points, familiar connections, realistic scenarios, and built-in safety habits. You will learn how to use AI effectively without handing over your judgment.
Start with a guide, try a prompt, and build your confidence one skill at a time. If you want AI explained in plain language with real examples, you are in the right place.
