  It was a pleasure to share Open RN OER at the OADN and discuss how we are using generative AI to create engaging virtual simulations to enhance the development of students' clinical judgment. The energy and excitement in the room was palpable as we shared just a few potential ways that educators can harness the capabilities of generative AI to create engaging and interactive learning activities!
