Enhancing patient outcomes every single day
How do we do it? By minimizing safety incidents and shortening average hospital stays through collaboration with healthcare systems and our innovative, nurse-centric approach.
Why it will help you
This innovative approach leads to:
Better outcomes
A single team of experienced virtual and onsite nurses improves outcomes by reducing safety events and average length of stay. Your nurse managers and directors of nursing will oversee care delivery and quality, in keeping with your standards. We will recruit and schedule nurses to fill all shifts for the unit. No more scrambling to fill in nurses due to call-offs.
Improved nurse experience
This intelligent nursing care model cares for nurses while they care for patients. The hybrid work schedule gives nurses a respite from the physical aspects of their job by alternating between onsite and virtual shifts all the while remaining part of a single care team. Nexus Nurses™ can select from at least 5 different weekly schedules ranging from 20 to 40 hours per week. Over a year, the flexible schedule offers millions of different alternatives to fit every need.
Improved patient experience
Permanent-placement, experienced nurse teams facilitate exceptional patient experiences. Nexus Virtual Nurses™ provide near-immediate response times, increase admission throughput, and facilitate patient and family education and discharge planning. Onsite nurses, in turn, can focus on hands-on care and spend more time with the patients and less on documentation.
Economical workforce solution
Nexus Nurses™ reduce expenditures on travel nurses, turnover costs, and premium pay, resulting in a cost-effective solution to the ongoing nursing shortage. In addition, our workflow reduces the average length of stay, reducing costs and improving the bottom line.
Who we are
How do we do it?
Nexus Bedside’s innovative nursing care model supports nurses in their critical role, merging cutting-edge technology with hands-on compassion.
By reducing reliance on travel nurses, minimizing turnover costs, and optimizing workflows, we offer a cost-effective solution to address the ongoing nursing shortage, ultimately improving the bottom line for healthcare institutions.
Our nurses lead the charge by integrating intelligent workflow and technology solutions to elevate care delivery.

What makes us special
Revolutionizing nursing: Nexus Bedside’s mission
The growing need for nurses is outpacing a shrinking workforce, casting shadows on patient care. We’re not content with that status quo.
Our mission? Reimagine nursing and transform the way nurses collaborate, care, and conquer challenges.
At the core of our solution is Nexus Bedside’s Nursing Team. By partnering with your organization, we recruit experienced nurses who oversee the entire care 24X7 for the unit. You can then redeploy the former RNs from that unit to the units where they’re most needed. Our nurses provide the care so you can focus on the areas most in need and potentially save up to $5 million a year.
Fundamentally changing conventional nursing practices
We’re rewriting the rules on nursing deployment, and our healthcare organization partners are enjoying the results, such as:
- Better patient outcomes, increased satisfaction and reduced lengths of stay by a half-day
- Patients 17 times more likely to contact their virtual nurse rather than ring their call button
- Expediting floor transfers from ED by 90 minutes
- Helping onsite nurses accept up to 3 times the number of typical transfers
