Key Takeaways
Novice nurses (those who self-reported as having 1-3 years of inpatient nursing experience) are more open to technological innovations like AI and virtual nursing. This is likely due to their recent training and exposure to these technologies.
Mid-career nurses (those who self-reported as having 4-6 years of inpatient experience) show higher levels of support for emerging technologies making them effective champions for care transformation.
Veteran nurses (those who self-reported 7-10+ years of inpatient experience) advocate strongly for mandated nurse-to-patient ratios, showing more hesitancy toward technological changes in clinical workflow.
Survey data indicates that unionized nurses show higher levels of skepticism toward new technologies like AI and virtual nursing, along with higher levels of support for mandated nurse-to-patient ratios.
