With the breakthroughs and development of technology, the application scenarios of artificial intelligence (AI) have been continuously expanding, and the application levels have been increasingly deepened, bringing new opportunities and challenges to nursing education in the new era. This study systematically reviews the specific applications of AI in multi-modal content generation, virtual simulation technology, personalized teaching, and teaching model innovation. It also analyzes the technical limitations, ethical dilemmas, and cost constraints existing in practical applications, and proposes relevant countermeasures such as macro planning, cross-disciplinary collaboration, systematic training, and the reconstruction of the teaching evaluation system. The aim is to promote the integration of AI and nursing education and provide references for cultivating high-quality nursing talents that can adapt to the development of the new era.
