Nexus Bedside FAQs (& Answers)

Everything you want to know — answered directly by our team.

Get a deeper look at why Nexus Bedside was created, how it works, and how it’s transforming the future of nursing and inpatient care.

What is Nexus Bedside?

Nexus Bedside is not just another virtual nursing company—it’s a radical rethinking of how inpatient nursing is delivered. It’s the first true hybrid nursing platform, combining expert bedside nurses and remote virtual nurses into one integrated team, powered by advanced AI and computer vision technologies. The goal? Deliver better patient care, dramatically reduce nurse burnout, and make hospitals safer, smarter, and more sustainable.

How does hybrid nursing work?

Hybrid nursing blends in-person and remote nursing seamlessly. Bedside RNs focus on physical care, critical thinking, and high-touch interactions. Virtual RNs handle documentation, patient education, care coordination, and patient monitoring through AI and video links. It’s teamwork, not outsourcing—and it’s tailored to reduce the chaos nurses face every day.

How is patient care impacted?

Patients actually get more nursing attention, not less. Routine tasks and documentation are offloaded to virtual nurses, so bedside RNs can have fewer interruptions, be more present, build stronger connections, and catch problems earlier. The result: higher satisfaction, faster recoveries, fewer errors, and safer hospital stays.

Why isn’t Nexus Bedside just another virtual nursing platform?

Because Nexus isn’t simply bolting virtual support onto old workflows—it’s redesigning inpatient care itself. It rewires who does what, when, and how, making sure nursing practice is elevated, not cheapened. Our AI doesn’t replace nurses; it supports them in doing the work that matters most. Not all virtual nursing platforms are created equal. Learn how Nexus Bedside was purpose-built for inpatient care — with nurses, for nurses.

How does Nexus Bedside support nurse well-being?

Nexus was designed by nurses, for nurses. It reduces physical strain by limiting unnecessary steps and tasks, eases mental fatigue by having virtual nurses catch alerts and complete documentation, and restores professional fulfillment by allowing bedside RNs to work at the top of their licenses. It’s not just about keeping nurses on staff; it’s about reviving the soul of nursing.

How does Nexus Bedside help reduce nurse workload?

By splitting the workload intelligently, Nexus takes pressure off bedside nurses. Virtual RNs manage all or the majority of medication reconciliation, admission, progress notes, routine communication, patient monitoring, patient and family education, and the coordination of tests and discharges. This division slashes the number of competing demands bedside nurses juggle every shift and restores their ability to focus on what they do best—direct patient care.

How does Nexus Bedside’s technology make hospital rooms smarter and safer?

Nexus integrates vision AI and smart room monitoring to track patient mobility, detect fall risks, catch subtle clinical changes early, and flag safety events instantly. Every room essentially gains an extra set of trained eyes to protect patients without sacrificing their dignity or privacy. Learn how Nexus Bedside uses smart technology to create safer, more responsive care environments.

How is Nexus Bedside bringing innovation to hospitals?

Nexus doesn’t just install new technology; it rewires the entire inpatient care model. Hospitals that implement Nexus benefit from faster discharge throughput, lower nurse turnover, higher safety and quality scores, and real operational cost savings. It’s not just a tech upgrade—it’s a care and business transformation. Discover how Nexus Bedside is transforming the frontline of healthcare.

How does Nexus Bedside reduce unnecessary interruptions for nurses?

Nexus improves nurse safety by reducing the number of unnecessary room entries, monitoring aggressive behavior with AI, and enabling early alerts to security teams when needed. By lightening physical and mental demands and distributing the workload more evenly, Nexus helps nurses stay alert, protected, and able to deliver their best care. Learn how Nexus Bedside is helping to create safer environments for the caregivers we depend on.

How can Nexus Bedside improve hospital patient flow and emergency department crowding

Learn how Nexus Bedside helps improve patient flow and open inpatient beds faster.

Yes—and that’s critical to its success. Nexus’s platform integrates seamlessly with existing electronic medical records, and the AI-powered interfaces are intuitive and easy for both nurses and patients. We obsess over making the user experience simple and stress-free so that technology becomes a help, not a burden.

Whether you are an academic medical center, a community hospital, or a critical access hospital, if you rely on inpatient nursing, Nexus can transform your operations and outcomes.
