KEY FINDINGS AMN Healthcare surveyed nurses nationwide on a range of topics regarding their job satisfaction, career plans, work environment, scheduling preferences, use of emerging technology, and related topics. The following are select findings based on responses from 12,171 nurses nationwide. Comparisons to results in previous years are included where relevant and as space allows. Nurses on Nursing: A Tale of Contrasting Perspectives When asked about their job satisfaction and work environment, nurses provided a contrasting picture that included both positive and negative feelings. The majority (75%) said they are very satisfied or satisfied with their choice of nursing as a career, trending up slightly from 71% in 2023 but not as high as in pre-pandemic years when the number was typically greater than 80%. Only 13% said they were very dissatisfied or dissatisfied.
