NurseBee is an ecosystem with The Hive at the center of it all: a community benefiting the lives of those who care for us.

The nursing shortage is at multi‑decade highs: over 100,000 RNs exited during COVID and ~900,000 may leave by 2027. Nurses report high burnout, long work hours, and dissatisfaction with pay relative to demands.

Facilities are reporting chronic understaffing with hospitals reporting persistent nurse staffing vacancies, with vacancy rates around 16–17% above pre-pandemic levels. Shortages in nursing staff are contributing to longer ER wait times and reduced care availability.

Facilities face urgent fill needs and high premium labor costs; traditional agencies add 30–40% markups and often rely on slow, manual workflows.

After more than 20 years in healthcare and 15 years running a staffing firm, Edward saw how burnout and broken staffing systems hurt both nurses and patients. When critical shifts went unfilled, it became clear that the industry needed more than another agency — it needed a better model.

NurseBee is a flexible platform that helps facilities fill shifts quickly while giving nurses more control over their schedules and income. Built for transparency, speed, and trust, NurseBee combines real-time shift matching, same-day pay, and credential verification in one intuitive app.

Transparency and Flexibility Matter

Nurses demand control and clarity—NurseBee delivers both.

Facilities need speed and trust—NurseBee provides credential transparency that accelerates the administrative staffing process.

Both sides benefit from lower friction and higher satisfaction.

NurseBee is positioned for rapid scale and feature expansion. Our next milestones include:

The U.S. healthcare staffing market reached $63B in 2024, creating significant room for modern, tech‑enabled workforce solutions.

The global mobile nurse staffing market is projected to reach $42.2B by 2027, underscoring worldwide demand for flexible, mobile-first platforms. The aging population is increasing care demand, while the nursing shortage is the highest in decades.

What this means: A massive market meets an urgent need. NurseBee’s transparent, flexible platform is built to solve the staffing crisis and capture a share of this growing opportunity.

NurseBee earns revenue on each shift booked through the platform. By replacing traditional agency markups with a lean, tech-enabled model.

NurseBee bridges the gap between costly traditional agencies and transactional gig apps.

We deliver higher pay transparency, lower facility costs, and a community-driven experience built around nurses—not just shifts.

Our platform integrates compliance, financial wellness, and engagement tools for long-term sustainability, ensuring better outcomes for nurses, facilities, and patients.

Your investment will help NurseBee scale and strengthen our impact in healthcare staffing.

Join us as we build a nurse-first platform designed to scale in a multi-billion-dollar market that urgently needs a better solution. Healthcare doesn’t change unless we build something better.

I lost my father at the age of 9 to a rare health condition, and I’ve spent over two decades in this industry, and I believe nurses deserve a platform that truly works for them. If you believe in restoring trust, flexibility, and dignity to the nursing workforce, I invite you to join us and help build NurseBee.
