PROGRAM PURPOSE
Purpose Statement: Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly changing the landscape of nursing and impacting the future for healthcare providers, patients and their loved ones. As the healthcare industry scrambles to keep up with recent changes in technology, nurses must prepare for a time when AI technologies will be utilized to meet the evolving needs of patients in many healthcare settings. The use of AI technologies in healthcare began with the introduction of theoretical concepts in the 1950s but has expanded to include practical applications to diagnosis and care delivery. AI has the potential to enhance nursing, but the healthcare industry must be careful to avoid overreliance on technological shortcuts that threaten safe staffing and appropriate patient care. The successful integration of AI in nursing will depend on ongoing education, appropriate safeguards, and a commitment to maintaining the compassionate, patient-centered approach that defines the profession. To receive CHs/CEUs, all participants are required to attend all face-to-face sessions of the program, complete all in-session program assignments, complete an evaluation form, and develop an action plan to help achieve accountability at the bedside.
Learner Outcome: At the conclusion of this program, the licensed healthcare practitioner will be able to identify current and potential roles for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in nursing care, adopt strategies to successfully integrate AI in nursing while delivering safe and ethical care and navigate the increasingly technology-driven healthcare environment.
Objectives:
Define Artificial Intelligence (AI)

PORTS OF CALL
Shanghai, China
Shanghai is not merely a starting point; it is a destination in its own right, a city of staggering scale and ambition that serves as the perfect prologue and epilogue to your journey. As a roundtrip port, it presents a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the dynamic pulse of modern China. To arrive for your cruise and depart immediately would be to miss one of the world's most compelling urban experiences. We strongly advise dedicating at least two to three days before and after your sailing to truly grasp the city's multifaceted character.
**First Impressions: The Bund and Pudong**
Your exploration should begin at The Bund (Waitan), the city's iconic waterfront promenade. On one side of the Huangpu River stands a proud collection of colonial-era Art Deco and Neoclassical buildings, remnants of the city's past as a global financial hub. Look across the water, and you are confronted with the future: the sci-fi skyline of the Pudong district. The Oriental Pearl Tower, the bottle-opener-shaped Shanghai World Financial Center, and the spiraling Shanghai Tower pierce the clouds. The contrast is breathtaking. A walk along The Bund during the day is essential, but a return visit at night, when both skylines are brilliantly illuminated, is non-negotiable. For a different perspective, consider a river cruise for panoramic views.
**A Step Back in Time: Old City and Classical Gardens**
From the grandeur of The Bund, retreat into the winding alleyways of the Old City (Nanshi). Here, the scale becomes human again. At its heart lies the Yu Garden, a Ming Dynasty masterpiece of classical Chinese garden design. It’s a tranquil world of rockeries, koi-filled ponds, jade-hued pavilions, and serene halls. It can be crowded, so an early morning visit is best. Surrounding the garden is the Yuyuan Bazaar, a bustling marketplace where you can browse for souvenirs, watch locals go about their day, and sample traditional street food. This is the place to try Shanghai’s famous *xiaolongbao* (soup dumplings) at the legendary Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant.
**The Soul of the City: French Concession and Tianzifang**
For a change of pace, spend an afternoon wandering the former French Concession. Its quiet, plane-tree-lined streets, elegant European-style villas, and hidden courtyards offer a peaceful respite from the city's frenetic energy. This area is now home to chic boutiques, independent art galleries, and charming cafes perfect for a leisurely break. Nearby, Tianzifang offers a more bohemian experience. This labyrinth of narrow alleyways (*longtang*) is set within traditional Shikumen (stone-gate) houses that have been converted into a vibrant arts and crafts enclave. It’s a delightful place to get lost, discovering small studios, teahouses, and unique shops.
**A Culinary Journey**
Shanghai’s dining scene is a universe unto itself. Beyond the delicate soup dumplings, seek out *shengjianbao* (pan-fried pork buns), crispy on the bottom and fluffy on top. Explore the diverse regional cuisines of China, from fiery Sichuan to refined Cantonese. For an upscale experience, the restaurants lining The Bund offer world-class cuisine with unparalleled skyline views. For something more local, follow the crowds to any small, steaming noodle shop. The city caters to every palate and budget, making culinary exploration a key part of any extended stay.
**Cultural Pursuits**
If time permits, the Shanghai Museum in People's Square is a world-class institution housing a magnificent collection of ancient Chinese art, including bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy, and jade. It provides deep historical context for the modern metropolis outside its doors. For a glimpse into the city's spiritual side, visit the serene Jade Buddha Temple or the striking, golden-roofed Jing'an Temple, an oasis of calm amidst a bustling commercial district.
**Practical Guidance for Your Stay**
* **Getting from Baoshan Port:** The cruise terminal is located in the northern suburbs, a significant distance from the city center. The most efficient and comfortable way to reach your hotel is via a pre-booked private transfer or a taxi. The journey to central areas like The Bund or Jing'an typically takes 45-90 minutes, depending heavily on traffic.
* **Navigating the City:** Once settled, the Shanghai Metro is your best friend. It is clean, extensive, affordable, and has signs and announcements in English, making it remarkably easy for visitors to use.
* **Visa Information:** A crucial planning note: China has specific visa requirements. Many travelers may be eligible for the 144-hour visa-free transit policy, which often applies to cruise passengers flying into Shanghai, taking a cruise, and then flying to a third country. However, regulations can change. It is essential to verify your specific eligibility and the latest visa rules well in advance of your travel to ensure a smooth entry.
By extending your stay, you transform Shanghai from a logistical waypoint into a highlight of your entire vacation—a city that will challenge your perceptions, delight your senses, and leave you with a profound appreciation for the scale and dynamism of 21st-century China.
Jeju (Seogwipo), South Korea
Known as the “Hawaii of Korea,” Jeju is a volcanic island of dramatic natural beauty and a culture all its own. A designated UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, its appeal lies in its striking landscapes, shaped by millennia of volcanic activity. From the port of Seogwipo on the southern coast, you are well-positioned to experience some of the island’s most impressive sights.
Nearby, you’ll find stunning waterfalls, including Jeongbang, one of the few in Asia that cascades directly into the ocean. The Jusangjeolli Cliffs offer a spectacular view of hexagonal basalt columns carved by ancient lava flows meeting the sea. For a taste of local life, the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is an authentic, bustling hub where you can sample regional specialties like black pork skewers and sweet hallabong citrus.
The island is also home to the legendary *Haenyeo*, female free-divers who harvest seafood from the ocean floor, a tradition recognized by UNESCO. You may see them working along the coast, and their fresh catch is available at seaside restaurants.
It is important to set realistic expectations for a day visit. Jeju is a large island, and reaching attractions on the opposite coast, such as the Manjanggul Lava Tube, can consume much of your time in transit. A full ascent of Hallasan, the central volcano, is not feasible on a port day. We recommend focusing your exploration on the southern Seogwipo region to fully appreciate its unique geology and culture without feeling rushed.
At Sea - Cruising
Kyoto (Maizuru), Japan
The port of Maizuru presents a fundamental choice: a journey to the cultural heart of Japan or an exploration of the serene coast. The main draw is, without question, Kyoto, the former imperial capital. Reaching it requires a significant commitment—a bus or train ride of 90 minutes to two hours each way. With limited time, a focused approach is essential. Rather than attempting to see everything, choose one or two key areas. You might explore the Higashiyama District, walking the stone-paved lanes to the magnificent Kiyomizu-dera Temple, or visit the iconic Kinkaku-ji, the shimmering Golden Pavilion. Another option is Arashiyama, famous for its ethereal bamboo grove and serene Tenryu-ji Temple gardens.
Alternatively, staying local offers a more relaxed and equally authentic experience. The port city of Maizuru itself is home to the Red Brick Park, a collection of handsome, historic naval warehouses that provide a fascinating look at Japan's Meiji-era modernization. A short journey away lies Amanohashidate, the 'Bridge to Heaven.' This stunning, pine-covered sandbar is considered one of Japan's three most scenic views. The classic way to see it is from a hillside park, bending over to view the sandbar between your legs, which makes it appear to float to the heavens. This choice—between the grand, iconic sights of Kyoto and the quiet, natural beauty of the coast—allows you to tailor the day to your own pace and interests.
Niigata, Japan
Niigata offers an authentic look at regional Japan, a city celebrated for its culinary prowess rather than ancient temples. Facing the Sea of Japan, it is the heart of the country's premier rice-growing region, a distinction that translates directly into its most famous export: world-class sake. For a true taste of the area, a visit to a local sake brewery like Imayo Tsukasa offers insight and samples of this revered craft. Nearby, the Pier Bandai market is a lively spot to try incredibly fresh seafood and other local products.
Beyond gastronomy, the Northern Culture Museum provides a fascinating window into the life of a wealthy farming family, set within their impressive traditional residence and beautiful gardens. For a more contemporary experience, the Niigata Manga and Animation Museum celebrates the city's notable artists in a fun, interactive setting. Niigata is not a city of grand monuments; its appeal lies in its quieter, more refined pleasures. It’s a rewarding port for those who appreciate savoring some of Japan's best food and drink while experiencing the genuine culture of a modern Japanese prefectural capital.
Hakodate, Japan
Hakodate, a key port on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, offers a refreshingly different perspective from the country's larger metropolises. Its history as one of the first Japanese ports opened to international trade has left a lasting mark, creating a charming blend of Japanese and Western influences that is easily explored in a day.
The city's most famous attraction is the view from Mount Hakodate. A quick ropeway ride reveals a stunning panorama of the unique isthmus geography connecting the mountain to the city. While renowned for its nighttime sparkle, the daytime view is equally breathtaking and more accessible for visitors on a port call. Back at sea level, the Hakodate Morning Market (Asaichi) is an essential stop. This bustling market is a feast for the senses, with vendors selling impossibly fresh seafood. Indulge in a local specialty, *kaisendon*—a bowl of rice topped with freshly caught sea urchin, crab, and squid.
A short tram ride away, the Motomachi district showcases the city's international past. Stroll up sloping streets lined with 19th-century churches, consulates, and public halls, offering a glimpse into the Meiji era. For a different slice of history, visit Fort Goryokaku, a massive, star-shaped citadel. To fully appreciate its impressive geometric design, ascend the adjacent Goryokaku Tower. The fort's grounds are particularly beautiful during the late spring cherry blossom season.
With its compact layout connected by an efficient streetcar system, Hakodate provides a manageable and deeply rewarding day of exploration, combining dramatic landscapes, exceptional culinary experiences, and a distinct historical character.

Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.
What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?
Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.
TRIP CANCELLATION
Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:
A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
Your parent or child requires hospitalization
You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more
TRIP INTERRUPTION
Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:
You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
TRAVEL DELAY
If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE
Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:
You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*
*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
