The AI Preceptor teaches nurses and healthcare professionals how to use AI in practical, responsible ways. I bring that same transparency to how I create my own work.
I use AI as a support tool during parts of my research, planning, development, and editing process. It may help me organize information, explore an idea, compare approaches, identify gaps, test instructions, troubleshoot a prompt, or improve the clarity and structure of a draft.
But AI is not the source of the experience behind this work.
The lessons, examples, and teaching methods I share are shaped by years of nursing, teaching nurses, healthcare professionals, and patients, and explaining complicated information in approachable ways. They also come from hands-on experience teaching AI to healthcare professionals, practicing with different tools, studying imperfect responses, and learning through testing, troubleshooting, refinement, and verification.
I determine the purpose, audience, learning goals, safety boundaries, examples, and final message. I decide what is useful, what needs to change, what requires verification, and what should not be used.
I also bring what AI does not have on its own: lived professional experience, an understanding of the people the work is for, the healthcare context, and responsibility for how the final material is used.
I may use AI to:
Develop and organize early ideas
Explore different ways to explain a concept
Test prompts and practice activities
Review material for clarity and possible gaps
Troubleshoot responses that are incomplete, unclear, or inaccurate
Support editing, formatting, and content organization
Examine how AI tools behave so I can teach others what to expect
Any AI-assisted material is reviewed, refined, and shaped by me before it is published or taught.
I do not rely on AI to replace professional experience, independent judgment, source verification, or responsibility for the final work.
I do not enter patient identifiers, protected health information, confidential workplace information, or other sensitive material into public AI tools. Examples used for AI practice or education are created with safe information, such as fictional, synthetic, generalized, or appropriate de-identified material, or information that is already publicly available.
I also do not assume that a confident or polished response is correct. Important claims, sources, and recommendations require appropriate review and verification.
AI tools will continue to change, and my practices may evolve with them. My commitment is to remain transparent about meaningful AI involvement, protect sensitive information, verify important content, and keep human judgment at the center of the process.
AI supports some of the work I do. It is not the work that I do.
