Conclusion AMN Healthcare’s Nurses in 2024 survey is intended as a window into the career plans and perspectives of nurses moving into the current year. While limited in scope and distribution, it strongly suggests continued volatility in the nursing workforce and continued challenges for nurse employers. Looking forward to the remainder of 2024, more nurses (38%) are pessimistic about what the year holds for them than are optimistic (20%). More than one-third of nurses (35%) said it is extremely likely they will change jobs in 2024, while 35% said it is extremely likely they will change their schedules/hours. Only 37% of nurses said their impact on the health and well-being of their patients in 2024 has been extremely positive, while only 37% said they are extremely proud to be a nurse.
The survey further indicates that the three factors of most importance to nurses in their workplaces are better compensation, more nurses per patient, and better hours/schedules. Employers who are able to offer work environments that provide what nurses find of most importance may be able to enhance nurse job satisfaction and retention and position themselves as nurse employers of choice.
