Abstract
Nurse staffing in a world of health care reform and accountable care is uncertain and creates fear not only for the nurse leaders, but all RNs. • As health care reform transforms the environment, so must the role and staffing of nurses. • There is still not one right answer or agreed upon manner to nurse staffing of inpatient units. • This leaves nurses free to imagine roles and staffing possibilities for the future across the continuum. • Including all RNs in conversations, visioning, and problem solving for the future will best prepare the profession for our role in caring for our patients.
