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.
• Our future volume forecasts for individual markets can help leaders better plan long-term staffing.

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.
• As nursing workflows increasingly integrate AI and automation applications, it is crucial for leaders to prioritize nurses in decision-making processes for technology investments.
• 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, standardizing 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. 
• Expand interdisciplinary perceptions of the work nurses can and should perform to ensure that nurses are delivering care within their full scope of practice.
