The reality:
Many clinicians hope to remain in the nursing profession, yet they seek a path away from bedside care.
According to the 2026 Nurse.org State of Nursing Survey:
A full 43% of nurses intend to exit bedside roles within the year—increasing from 38% in 2025—while 23% consider leaving the field completely. Those looking for new paths often face limited awareness of diverse career options and anxiety about the transition. This represents a critical loss to our vital healthcare workforce.
Nexus Nurse Academy has three main goals.
One, increase awareness and knowledge by providing informational courses on non-clinical roles to help address the growing percentage of nurses who want to leave the bedside. We want to support nurses in their transition with specialities that may suit their present skills.
Two, improve nurse retention by offering specialized continuing education for registered nurses to advance skills with professional development beyond the bedside. You know a lot about starting IVs but how much do you know about conflict resolution?
Three, support registered nurses who may already be in non-clinical roles with premium continuing education courses that speak to their specialty. Nurses deserve curriculum that mirrors their daily responsibilities and specialized expertise and sometimes that is beyond the bedside and clinical expectations.
