What is a Workforce Disruption RN?

Workforce Disruption RNs are registered nurses who provide temporary clinical support to healthcare facilities experiencing staffing shortages due to strikes, labor disputes, or other disruptions. These nurses are typically assigned on short notice and may work in various settings, such as hospitals or long-term care facilities. Their primary role is to ensure that patient care continues safely and effectively during periods when regular staff are unavailable. Workforce Disruption RNs must quickly adapt to new environments and work collaboratively with existing teams.
