According to the recent AMN Healthcare report, only 39% of nurses plan to be in their current positions within 12 months due to the combination of burning, challenges related to mental health and staff problems.
Nurses consistently say that they need to improve working conditions, for example, fewer patients for a nurse, hybrid roles and greater planning flexibility to maintain passion and expand your career.
These are massive challenges in the current healthcare environment. But AMN research suggests that suppliers can accept some technologies – advanced planning systems, manual devices – to strengthen the position of nurses and better secure the future of nursing staff.
“As the demand for nurses increases among the constant variability of the workforce, healthcare administrators must look beyond recruitment and invest in sustainable solutions to help nurses to re -discover the goal, which for the first time brought them to the profession,” said Robin Johnson, president of the AMN group for nursing and solutions of allies.
Why does it matter
The good news is that when asked in the AMN Healthcare 2025 survey conducted by registered nurses, as it is likely, they recommended another nurse, 35% of people participating in the annual survey said that “it is very likely”.
According to researchers from a company dealing with employees and talents, this number dropped rapidly from 39% in 2019 to 23% in 2023.
“The number of nurses indicating that they recommend nursing as a career, increased by 15 percentage points since 2023 and returns to previous levels after a decline in 2023,” they said in a statement on Monday.
While 75% of nurses reported that he was satisfied with their career, and 49% stated that they feel valued by his employer, the assessment of satisfaction differed at the level of training and generation. For example, older nurses expressed a slightly higher level of satisfaction than younger nurses.
Levels of nurses’ satisfaction showed a slight boost compared to previous years after maintaining a constant at the level of 80-85% for a decade, but AMN said that the study with 12,171 answers showed urgent trends of workforce.
58% of respondents reported not only the experience of burnout on most days, and 64% stated that they suffered from fatigue, but 33% of nurses stated that they were eligible for retirement this year. Fatigue of compassion works against satisfaction, scientists noticed because nurses claim that this affects their health.
However, most nurses – 55% – definitely agreed that the pliant schedule would facilitate them determine the priorities of time with their family, and 81% said that pliant schedules would improve their working conditions in general. Almost half – 49% – said that they believe that pliant working hours would encourage them to stay in the profession longer.
“My passion would ignite the flexible schedule that would help balance my work and family life,” said one of the nurse in the survey.
About a third of respondents’ nurses-34%-he said that he had access to self-sufficient options, and 33% said that they utilize the application planning application.
“Thanks to appropriate strategies, healthcare systems can provide nurses with greater flexibility of the schedule, a better balance between professional and life life and greater control over when and where they work – thus improving the daily professional experience of current nurses and attracting new nurses to the industry,” said Johnson.
AMN nursing in the passage report It offers other observations, including the utilize of mentor models, an boost in financial incentives and expanding the means of preventing violence in the workplace.
Greater trend
Morale was a problem, and nursing shortages reach over a decade, combining several factors against satisfaction, including technology. According to the master of Arch Collaborative, with the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, electronic health documentation (EHR) by nurses showed a particularly rapid decline.
The work on Pandemia was resulted in 90% of nurses considering leaving the profession, with several factors, including administrative burdens, contributing to burnout. It was a significant change compared to the 2020 nurse report, when the factors related to EHR were among the surveyed nurses of the most frequently chosen reasons for burning.
It is worth noting that the American Medical Information Association was found after 1250 healthcare professionals were conducted, of whom a quarter was registered nurses that the daily burden on documentation extends to the effects of patient care. Over 77% of all respondents in the Amia survey published last year stated that they regularly work after hours at home due to excessive administrative work and that they believe that this affects the quality of care.
While many respondents nurses in the recent AMN survey – 45% – are afraid that artificial intelligence can affect patients’ safety, and 26% said that AI will replace them, according to AI design in order to improve nursing, Betty Jo Rocchio.
Thanks to the automated nursing card system, a mobile map and the utilize of artificial intelligence to improve the communications of the emergency department in 51 hospitals of the healthcare system, said Rocchio in September at the Himss forum in health service that Mercy managed to boost the detention of a nurse.
“Two years, it still works great. … But to this point – some pain.”
On the plate
“As a nurse, I myself know the importance of this data and actions, which, as a leader, we must take to solve the fears of our workforce,” said Dr. Angelo Venditti, the Chief Nursing Director of AMN in a statement. “Looking at the future of nursing, we must prioritize the prosperity of our professionals and priority to treat flexible planning, technology improving the workplace and innovative staff solutions.”
