The plurality of nurses (40%) said they are neither comfortable nor uncomfortable with the use of AI to support nursing operations. Only 31% of nurses said they are very comfortable or comfortable with it, while 30% said they are very uncomfortable or uncomfortable. The 40% who said they are neither comfortable nor uncomfortable presumably feel this way because they are unfamiliar with how AI is being used to support nursing operations as it is still evolving.
