1UCHealth Parkview Health System, Pueblo, Colorado, Colorado.
Abstract:
As health care delivery evolves through technological innovation and expanded support roles, concerns have emerged regarding the erosion of relational nursing practice. This manuscript explores the paradox of increased support for registered nurses alongside declining time spent in direct patient interaction. Drawing on recent literature and leadership dialogue, it examines the implications of diminished communication and connection, particularly among early career nurses, and proposes strategies to restore relational competencies as a core element of professional nursing practice.
