Abstract
The rapid evolution of technology calls for innovations in nursing education and continuing professional development (NCPD) that are crucial for maintaining high-quality health-care delivery. As lifelong learners, nurses require effective and motivational educational resources that support their ongoing growth and enable them to adapt to changing health-care landscapes. Generative AI models such as OpenAI and Advanced language models such as ChatGPT present opportunities to enhance learning experiences and support knowledge acquisition. This article explores the potential of incorporating both generative AI and advanced language models in NCPD programs, focusing on design strategies, implementation, and possible challenges. By leveraging these innovations, nursing professionals can access personalized, on-demand, and interactive learning resources, advancing their professional growth and improving patient outcomes.
