An AI assistant for the nursing assistant: Nursa unveils time-saving scheduling tool with voice commands

Nursa has launched an AI-powered scheduling assistant that enables healthcare facilities to post nursing shifts within seconds using voice commands, photo uploads, or file imports. The tool, called Nursa Intelligence Assistant (NIA), addresses a critical bottleneck in healthcare staffing by automating the repetitive data entry that traditionally slows down shift posting for facilities managing hundreds of shifts monthly.

How it works: NIA offers three methods for creating shift listings within Nursa’s nationwide nursing platform.

• Healthcare coordinators can speak directly to the AI assistant, describing their shift requirements in natural language.
• They can photograph handwritten shift information or scheduling notes, which NIA processes automatically.
• Facilities can upload existing spreadsheets or scheduling files, allowing bulk shift creation.

Real-world impact: Early users report significant time savings and accuracy improvements in their scheduling workflows.

• Carlee Scholl, a staffing coordinator at Sullivan Park Care Center in Spokane, Washington, manages up to 150 shifts monthly and described NIA’s performance as “spot on.”
• The tool can generate anywhere from single shifts to thousands of shifts in seconds.

Why this matters: Healthcare facilities face persistent staffing challenges that require rapid response to fill critical nursing positions.

• Traditional shift posting involves repetitive typing and data entry that delays access to qualified clinicians.
• Nursa’s platform connects over 3,400 healthcare facilities with more than 400,000 nurses nationwide.
• The AI assistant represents what CEO Curtis Anderson calls “redefining what fast and easy staffing feels like.”

What they’re saying: “Artificial Intelligence is opening up new opportunities to streamline cumbersome workflows so healthcare facilities can focus on the important business of delivering quality patient care,” said Curtis Anderson, CEO and founder of Nursa.

• “With NIA, facilities eliminate the repetitive typing and data entry of shift posting by generating one or thousands of shifts in just seconds.”
• “We’re redefining what fast and easy staffing feels like, and this is just the beginning.”

Company background: Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Nursa operates as a nationwide platform designed to connect nurses with healthcare facilities needing per diem and contract staffing.

• The company is accredited by The Joint Commission, a healthcare quality and safety organization.
• Nursa positions itself as an alternative to traditional staffing agencies, aiming to reduce financial strain and operational gaps in healthcare staffing.
