WISCONSININNO: Virtual nursing startup raises $1.5M to pivot and address hospital staffing crisis

As hospital systems nationwide face financial shortfalls and staffing shortages, Madison-area virtual nursing startup Nurse Disrupted recently raised $1.5 million to expand its services to inpatient hospitals.
