Background The integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare is inevitable, particularly in the nursing sector. The purpose of the study is to explore the experiences of graduate nursing students with the use of artificial intelligence in education and clinical practice. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Graduate College of Al-Neelain University, Sudan. The study engaged 101 graduate nursing students using a systematic sampling method. Descriptive statistics were applied after collecting data through a structured, self-administered questionnaire. Results 40.6% of nurses are using artificial intelligence tools on a weekly basis for educational activities, and 59% of nurses reported improvements in their academic performance when using artificial intelligence-based tools. On the other hand, 60.8% of nurses are currently utilizing artificial intelligence in their clinical practice, and 64.4% of nurses see artificial intelligence as aiming to improve patient care and efficiency. Conclusion Graduate nursing students recognize artificial intelligence as a valuable tool for improving quality of patient care and nurses’ academic performance.
