The MHA has endorsed AMN Healthcare as a national leader in workforce solutions. AMN Healthcare’s 2025 Survey of Registered Nurses measures the insights and direction of the nursing profession using responses from more than 12,000 nurses. MHA members are encouraged to use this information to transform the work environment, take critical steps to address nurse burnout and stress, uplift the nursing profession and improve patient care and outcomes.
Key Findings:
- Recruitment and retention: Only 39% of nurses indicate they plan to be in their current positions in one year. Sixty-one percent plan to change employers, seek new positions internally or make other career changes.
- Flexible scheduling matters: 81% of nurses say schedule flexibility improves working conditions, while 56% highly value self-directed scheduling tools.
- Generational shifts: With 33% of nurses nearing retirement eligibility, proactive retention strategies are essential to maintaining appropriate staffing levels.
- The role of technology: While AI offers workforce management opportunities, only 11% of nurses say their employers have integrated AI into nursing operations.
Conclusions and Solutions:
The survey includes recommendations for addressing nurse workforce challenges, including:
- Expand workplace flexibility through hybrid roles and self-scheduling systems.
- Provide training and support for digital transformation, including AI readiness.
- Prioritize mental health and wellness initiatives to combat burnout and increase job satisfaction.
