In this episode of Great Work, Kirti Shenoy sits down with Shane Brown, CEO of nurseIO — a healthcare staffing marketplace bridging the gap between facilities in need and clinicians seeking flexibility. Drawing on nearly 30 years in medical technology, Shane shares how his team is rethinking the traditional staffing model with AI-driven onboarding in under 24 hours, transparent market-based pay rates, and same-day pay that makes a real difference for caregivers.

They dive into the challenges hospitals and nursing homes face in balancing budgets, maintaining morale, and meeting growing patient demand — and how Nurse.io’s approach helps both sides win. Shane also talks expansion strategy, lessons from building a bootstrap company, and why supply-side quality matters most in staffing marketplaces.

If you want a candid look at how technology, AI, and empathy can reshape healthcare staffing, this conversation delivers.
