Foundation: Johnson Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Bonnie Klipper, a nurse futurist and a pioneer in virtual nursing, believes the future of nursing will be one where nurses are augmented by technology, not replaced.

Klipper, who is also the first VP of innovation at the American Nurses Association and a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellow, says traditional structures of nursing are unsustainable, necessitating innovation to navigate through the cycle of disruption.
"The future of nursing, as envisioned by Dr. Dr. Klipper, is one where nurses are augmented by technology, not replaced," she says in a podcast.
