Traditional nursing models are breaking under the weight of higher acuity, staffing shortages, and relentless workload. But nurse leaders aren't waiting for permission to fix it, they're redesigning care delivery right now. In this episode, Kati Kleber, MSN RN, talks with Dr. Bethany Robertson, Clinical Executive at Wolters Kluwer, Health Learning Research & Practice, about how hospitals are experimenting with new care models that actually work. From team-based care to virtual nursing, Bethany explains how leaders are offloading cognitive overload, improving patient flow, and helping nurses feel valued for their clinical judgment... not just their ability to survive the shift. We discuss: ✅ What virtual nursing really looks like in action: how it's being used across acute care to support bedside teams without cutting FTEs. ✅ Why simply adding more staff won't fix burnout, and what true workload redesign looks like when nurses can finally think, not just react. ✅ How nurse leaders are rewriting the rules using insights from the FutureCare Nursing 2025 report, to build care models that protect both patients and the profession. 🔗 Resources & Links: Read the full FutureCare Nursing 2025 survey report from Lippincott® Solutions Join the FreshRN email list for free resources & updates: https://www.freshrn.com/email-sign-up/ Nurse leaders: Looking for a comprehensive residency program for your new grads?
