However, evidence regarding effectiveness, implementation challenges, and impact on nursing outcomes remains fragmented. This narrative review, using PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore (from Jan 2020-Dec 2025), examines AI/ ML applications in nursing practice, analyses implementation challenges, evaluates clinical effectiveness evidence, and identifies research gaps. Search terms combined 'artificial intelligence,' 'machine learning,' nursing,' and 'clinical decision support.' Inclusion: peer-reviewed empirical studies examining AI/ ML in nursing. Exclusion: theoretical papers, nonnursing studies. Analysis employed GRADE criteria for evidence quality assessment; 68 studies demonstrated AI/ ML applications across predictive analytics, clinical decision support, intelligent monitoring, documentation, and education. Critical limitations included small samples, short term follow-up, limited RCTs, and algorithmic bias affecting underrepresented populations. Evidence quality was predominantly moderate. While AI/ ML demonstrate technical capability, evidence for sustained clinical effectiveness remains limited by methodological weaknesses, implementation challenges, and insufficient examination of nursing-sensitive outcomes. Critical engagement, rigorous evaluation, and attention to equity are essential.
