From prompting to practice: Empowering faculty with AI and prompting tools.

As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms nursing education, faculty must develop digital literacy and prompt engineering skills to integrate these tools effectively. This paper explores how core nursing competencies align with prompt engineering practices. Practical frameworks and examples support educators in designing AI-assisted learning materials that strengthen engagement, personalization, and competency-based instruction. By recognizing prompting as a natural extension of familiar skills, nurse educators can confidently adopt AI to enhance instructional design and student outcomes while maintaining pedagogical integrity.
