Carleton University’s forthcoming Bachelor of Science in Nursing program will integrate artificial intelligence, coding, and data science into its curriculum alongside traditional clinical training. Students will explore the ethical implications of AI in healthcare and learn how to work with digital tools that aim to reduce administrative burdens and improve care delivery. “Future nurses must be prepared to work with AI tools that can ease provider burnout and improve patient care,” said Carleton Nursing Director Danielle Manley. “I don’t think there is a good future of health care without AI.” The program is part of Carleton’s broader push to prepare graduates for a digitally transformed health sector.
