@robpaquinRN AB tried a paid student internship for undergrad nurses and surveyed them. It's timely and local, I haven't read it, but it might fit the demographic you're looking at:

AI's potential to transform healthcare is huge. #ChatGPT is impressive but we found there's a long way to go before it gets even simple #CPR questions right:

@EddyLang1 @ACEPNow @CAEPResidents @HowardOvens @docschull @picardonhealth @NightShiftMD Too bad there was only one CDN paper. Happy to see that prolonged ED boarding didn't increase mortality for all patients (go ED team!). The association b/w ED LOS and mortality for ICU patients should be studied in AB for cause vs effect, maybe build ED/ICU teams?
