Nurses today have more employment opportunities than ever. Unlock the secrets to successful nurse recruitment and retention strategies with our expert guidance.

• To retain early career nurses, leaders must focus on skill development, hardwire a support network, and launch career planning.
• A flexible nursing workforce is the best strategy to help organizations staff with fewer FTEs and experienced nurses, while also actively retaining and attracting more nurses to the bedside role.
• Understand future volume forecasts for your market to better plan long-term staffing.

In order to meet the growing demand for care with limited staffing resources, leaders must embrace technology to optimize nurses' time. 

• While various technologies exist to support nurses, leaders often struggle to prioritize solutions and lack the resources to invest in new, often unproven technologies.
• Early applications of AI and automation have primarily focused on physicians, but it is crucial for leaders to prioritize nurses and tailor new technologies to nursing needs.
• Innovative care delivery models, augmented by virtual care, are needed to meet growing demands from both patients and staff. Virtual nursing can better support nurses, save costs, and improve patient care.

Maximizing the value of nursing hours is critical for providing complex patient care with limited staffing resources.

• Streamlining documentation, normalizing workflows for support staff, and cultivating nurse willingness to delegate responsibilities are three ways to protect nurses' time and allow them to practice at the top of their licenses. 
• Healthcare professionals often have misperceptions of each other's roles, which can prevent nurses from providing care they're qualified to deliver. Expand perceptions of the work nurses can and should perform to achieve top-of-license nursing practice.
