RN Survey 2025 Nursing in Transition: Workplace Changes, Challenges, and Solutions

 

[Sponsored] AMN Healthcare’s 2025 Survey of Registered Nurses reveals a profession at a turning point.

Only 39% of nurses say they plan to continue working as they are, signaling a major shift in workforce expectations. Burnout, staffing levels, and schedule flexibility remain top concerns, with 58% feeling burned out most days and 81% saying flexible scheduling would improve their work-life.

Yet despite these challenges, 75% remain satisfied with their decision to become a nurse, presenting healthcare leaders with a vital opportunity to engage and retain this critical workforce.

This survey identifies the most pressing challenges facing today’s RNs and offers five practical solutions to improve nurse engagement, retention, and satisfaction, helping healthcare organizations take meaningful, immediate action.

It also explores emerging trends such as self-scheduling, virtual nursing models, and the cautious adoption of AI, offering leaders a path forward to better support nurses and build a more resilient, sustainable workforce.

Learn what motivates RNs, what drives them to stay—or leave—and how flexible workforce models and innovation can shape the future of nursing.
