AI as the Third Person: Galen Ziegler on Transforming Nursing Education
In this episode of the Smarter Campus Podcast, Zach sits down with Galen Ziegler, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Harford Community College, to explore how AI is quietly revolutionizing the world of nursing education.
From limited clinical access to overworked faculty, Galen paints a clear picture of the challenges today’s nursing programs face—and how thoughtfully implemented AI tools can bridge those gaps.
This conversation goes far beyond theory. Galen shares the four-step AI module she built for her students and unpacks how tools like Google Bard, Google Lens, and Boodle Blocks are helping nurses think more critically, access better information, and prepare for a workforce shaped by technology.
If you’ve ever wondered what AI in a high-stakes, human-centered field like nursing really looks like… this one’s a must-listen.
