Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

Who is The AI Preceptor for?

The AI Preceptor is for nurses and healthcare professionals at different stages of learning and using AI. You may be new to it, skeptical about where it fits, already using it, or helping others use it in your role or workplace.

The resources and support are designed to help you understand where AI can fit into the work you do, build practical skills, and get more comfortable using it across different tasks and tools.

You do not need to be a tech person or have advanced technical experience.

What if I have never used AI before?

You can begin without prior AI experience. The materials start with familiar work and explain what to enter, what to leave out, how to review what comes back, and what to try when the response is not giving you what you need.

Free resources can also help you get oriented to terminology, workplace access, policies, tools, and the digital skills that may support the work you are doing.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. It helps to be comfortable with basic computer or mobile-device use, but you do not need advanced technical skills, and you do not have to like technology.

People are at different levels of experience and comfort with technology, and The AI Preceptor is designed with that in mind. When a task also involves a digital tool or skill, the guidance includes support for that part of the work too, connecting the digital skill and AI through the work you are doing.

Why would I need help using AI if I can just ask AI what to do?

You can ask AI for help, and learning to do that is an important skill.

The challenge is that you may not always know what information the tool needs, whether its recommendation fits your situation, what it left out, when another approach would work better, or how to recover when the response is not useful.

The AI Preceptor adds healthcare context, practical experience, troubleshooting, and human guidance to help you work through those situations.

Will you tell me which AI tool is best?

Sometimes a particular tool is a good fit for a task, but there is rarely one tool that is best for everything.

Recommendations depend on what you are trying to accomplish, what tools you have access to, what information you are working with, workplace requirements, and the capabilities available at the time.

The AI Preceptor focuses on helping you understand those decisions rather than tying your skills to one platform.

What if I do not plan to use AI?

You may decide not to use AI in your own work, or you may not have access to an approved tool. But colleagues, patients, family members, learners, or teams may still bring AI-generated information, questions, or concerns into your work.

Having some familiarity with AI can help you understand what you are looking at, ask better questions, respond more confidently, and advocate for what you need when AI is being considered or used around you. It can also help you make a more informed decision about where AI may or may not fit in your own work.

USING AI THOUGHTFULLY

How does The AI Preceptor address safety and accuracy?

Safety and accuracy are built throughout The AI Preceptor’s guidance. The content draws on guidance from nursing and other healthcare professional organizations, government agencies, regulatory and standards bodies, and interprofessional groups.

Because policies and approved tools differ by workplace, the guidance includes reminders to check and follow what applies in each setting. It also reinforces protecting sensitive information, reviewing and verifying AI responses, using professional judgment, and considering when AI may not be appropriate for the task.

Will my work end up sounding like AI?

It does not have to. AI can produce generic, repetitive, over-polished, or machine-shaped language, especially when it is asked to do too much without enough context. Part of the skill is learning how to recognize that language and put your own terminology, examples, tone, personality, and professional perspective back into the work.

AI can support the draft. You still decide what sounds like you and what you are comfortable putting your name on.

How does the content stay current as AI changes?

AI tools, features, and guidance will continue to change. The AI Preceptor focuses on practical skills that can transfer across tools, tasks, and changes in AI.

Resources are dated to show when the information was created or reviewed. Some are live resources that are updated over time, and the guidance also includes prompts, links, and other ways to find and check current information.

RESOURCES, GUIDES, AND SUPPORT

What is available now?

You can start with free resources, use The AI Bridge for practical self-guided learning, get personalized help with a project, work through something in one-on-one coaching, or explore workshops and consulting for a healthcare team or organization.

Each option is designed for a different kind of need, so take a look at the resources, guides, and support available and see what sounds closest to what you are looking for.

How much does it cost?

There are free ways to begin, fixed-price resources and services, and customized support for projects, teams, and organizations.

Current published prices include The AI Bridge at $34, the Healthcare AI Project Playbook at $75, and one-on-one coaching at $150 per hour. Project Starters begin at $150, and Custom Project Builds begin at $300. Workshop and consulting pricing is provided after discovery based on scope.

You will know the scope and complete price before any paid custom work begins.

Which option should I choose?

If one of the options clearly fits what you need, you can start there. If you are looking for personalized support and are not sure whether the better fit is project support, coaching, a workshop, or consulting, you do not have to figure that out on your own. Tell me what you are working on and I will review the request, explain how I can help, and recommend a starting point.

Submitting a request is not a purchase. You decide what you want to do after you receive the recommendation.

TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Do you work with teams and organizations?

Yes. The AI Preceptor offers workshops and consulting for healthcare teams, private practices, educators, leaders, and professional groups.

Support begins by understanding what people are experiencing, what tools and policies apply, where the friction is, and what the team is trying to improve or better understand. From there, we can determine whether a workshop, consulting engagement, guided practice, or another next step fits.

ABOUT THE AI PRECEPTOR

What makes the approach different?

The AI Preceptor is nurse-led, healthcare-centered, and built around practical use rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to AI.

The approach recognizes that people come with different levels of experience, confidence, and access to tools. The guidance connects AI with familiar healthcare work and the digital tools that are often part of it, while focusing on skills that can transfer across different tasks, tools, and changes in AI.

The goal is to help people build practical skills, gain experience, and become more confident using AI.
