Nursing


At Durham, N.C.-based Duke University Health System, nurses have the option to pick up gig work or be traveling nurses without ever leaving the system. It is all part of the flexible scheduling Duke offers.

Fifty-seven percent of nurses reported using telehealth in 2022, up from 50% in 2018, according to the most recent federal data available. 

In six months, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital (Conn.) and a team of two virtual nurses have overseen 898 discharges, 466 admissions and reduced the average length of stay for patients in the medical/surgical unit by nearly half a day.

Emergency department nurses are urging the American College of Emergency Physicians to delay the rollout of its ED accreditation program, arguing that the current framework primarily focuses on physician-driven quality standards and could potentially limit the role of nurses. 

Nurses have a hard time disconnecting from work, and may benefit from additional workplace resources that support them in doing so, according to findings from a new Press Ganey report on nurse resiliency.
