The findings of Nurse.org's 2021 State of Nursing Survey revealed some harsh truths about the profession but also spoke to the strength, perseverance, and passion that nurses have for their work. Nurse.org has relaunched the State of Nursing survey in 2022 with the aim to capture a complete picture of the true state of the profession - from how nurses feel about work, how nurses are being treated, how nurses feel about the future of nursing, nurse's mental wellbeing and what nurses think needs to change within the profession. Take the survey now (it takes less than 10 minutes.)
If the past two years have taught the world anything, it's that nurses are NOT okay. The truth is that despite the 7 pm cheers, the commercials thanking nurses for their dedication and selflessness, and the free food from major retailers – the overwhelming majority of nurses are burnt out, underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated.
With millions of nurses worldwide, Nurse.org wanted to truly understand the current state of nursing and give nurses a voice to share their thoughts, feelings, and apprehensions about the nursing profession. We surveyed nearly 1,500 nurses to find out how they felt about the past year and get to the real reasons behind the nursing shortage. The responses were heartbreaking, but not without hope.

Nurses are struggling. Regardless of practice specialty, age, or state of practice – the answers were all the same. Nurses, NPs, and APRNs are all struggling and need help.
Only 12% of the nurses surveyed are happy where they are and interestingly, 36% would like to stay in their current positions but changes would need to be made for that to happen. Nurses report wanting safe staffing, safer patient ratio assignments, and increased pay in order to stay in their current roles.
Nurses didn’t hold back when discussing their feelings regarding the current state of nursing:
One nurse responded with the following, “I have been an RN for 34 years and in my specialty of nursing for 31 years and I am burned out.”
You’ve likely heard about the nursing shortage, but what does that mean and why is it happening?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) , the employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 9% from 2020 to 2030. Approximately 194,500 openings for registered nurses are projected each year, on average, over the decade. However, this number was projected prior to the pandemic, and before the mass exodus of bedside clinical nurses. As a result, it’s likely substantially lower than what the real demand for nurses will look like.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) reports that the increased need for nurses spans beyond the current pandemic. In fact, they sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on September 1, 2021, urging the country to declare the current and unsustainable nurse staffing shortage to be a national crisis.
The ANA attributes the needs for thousands of nurses to the following:
However, those stats don’t address some of the systemic issues nurses face every day, particularly in the midst of a pandemic. That’s why we asked nurses why they are really leaving the bedside.
What we heard is that, overwhelmingly, the number one reason nurses want to leave the bedside is because of unsafe staffing ratios. This leads to a never-ending cycle of shortages: nurses face unsafe staffing ratios so they decide to leave the bedside, this results in even fewer nurses available to care for patients, so the downward cycle continues.
Essentially, nurses are dealing with an increased workload with fewer resources. Typically, pre-covid ICU nurses would experience a 1:1 or 2:1 patient-to-nurse ratio. Now ICU nurses throughout the country are experiencing a 3:1 or 4:1 patient-to-nurse ratio which exacerbates staff burnout and unsafe nursing practices.
One nurse reported, “With increased patient census, staffing ratios are very unsafe especially with high acuity patients. Having 4+ critically ill patients not only puts licenses at risk but the patients do not benefit at all. We’re just running around doing tasks, not providing adequate care.”
While a big piece of the puzzle, unsafe staffing issues are, unfortunately, one part of a long list of issues plaguing nurses today.
Nurses are leaving the bedside because of issues like:

70% of nurses still think that nursing is a great career and 64% still think that new nurses should join the profession.
“If you’re a student considering becoming a nurse, please know that you are not walking into a doomed profession. You will never meet anyone who is more determined, more resourceful, or more ready to jump in and lend a helping hand than a nurse."
--– Nurse Alice Benjamin, MSN, APRN, ACNS-BC, FNP-C, CCRN, CEN, CV-BC, Chief Nursing Officer and Correspondent at Nurse.org
If you’re a nurse, you know that nursing isn’t just a profession, it’s a calling. It’s devastating to see that so many nurses are suffering in their quest to heal and give care, but it’s heartening to know they are not without hope.
If you’re a nurse, know that your job is simply to put yourself first. If we want to solve the nursing shortage (and we do!), it can't happen without nurses recognizing that they are NOT the problem.
"The problem is not with nurses or nursing; the problem is that nurses have been so busy taking care of others that no one has taken care of them. And we’re here to change that--and by entering the nursing profession, you will be part of the solution too”
– Nurse Alice Benjamin, MSN, APRN, ACNS-BC, FNP-C, CCRN, CEN, CV-BC, Chief Nursing Officer and Correspondent at Nurse.org
The truth is nurses need a lot more to be incentivized to stay practicing clinically at the bedside. Nurses reported needing:
While we may not be able to make this change at an individual level, collectively, we can amplify the voice of nurses and shed some light on the issues that they are facing every day. Together, we have the power to create meaningful, lasting change for current and future nurses. Here's how to get involved:
Sign the pledge seen below and encourage your friends & colleagues to do the same. While you’re at it, print it out and post it in your break room.
Change can’t happen unless we get the word out about what’s really going on. Share what you’ve heard and what you’ve experienced, and encourage others to do the same.
It’s time for elected officials to stand up for nurses. Write them a letter. Call their office. Demand change for nurses. Click here to get the contact information for your local and state Officials.

“If you are a current nurse considering leaving the profession, be assured that you are not alone in your struggles. If all you’ve had the energy for is keeping your head down and getting through your shifts, sleeping, and getting up to do it all over again, know that you are doing enough. It’s not your responsibility to solve the nursing shortage.”
– Nurse Alice Benjamin, MSN, APRN, ACNS-BC, FNP-C, CCRN, CEN, CV-BC, Chief Nursing Officer and Correspondent at Nurse.org

Nurses Week is an annual celebration and acknowledgment of the tireless work of nurses. This recognition was a hard-won fight that started in the 1950s when Dorothy Sutherland of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare proposed the idea of a “Nurse Day” to President Eisenhower. At the time, no action was taken, but after continuous efforts over the course of 40 years, “National Recognition Day for Nurses” was established in 1982. It was later expanded to a full week of recognition in 1991.
During the next 30 years, we celebrated nursing professionals with company-wide shoutouts, pizza parties, and hand-made banners with messages of support. Over time, these gestures began to feel overdone, and they’ve never really matched the gravity of the work that nurses do or how much they give to others. The last 24+ months have only heightened this issue with how we recognize and thank those who choose to dedicate themselves to this profession.
Working the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic has taken an immense physical and emotional toll on our nursing professionals. 75% of nurses entered the field because they have a desire to help others, according to a recent IntelyCare Research Group report . Yet, more than half of them would now not encourage their own children to get into nursing. That’s a huge difference.
As we enter Nurses Week 2022, it is clear to us that it is time to expand beyond what we have always done to acknowledge nurses. It is time to ask the nursing professionals themselves what it is that they want as a “thank you” and meaningful gesture of recognition for their hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. That is why a group of nurses at IntelyCare came together to design an appreciation week that leaves the cold pizza parties and “Thank You, Healthcare Heroes” banners behind.
What we heard from nurses is that they want experiences to remember and support in pursuing their career goals. We took this feedback to heart when planning this year’s celebration .
First, we wanted to make sure that this celebration would speak to ALL nurse types. That is why we changed the name from Nurses Week to Nursing Professionals Week, to be inclusive of the work of all nursing professionals. Whether you are a CNA, LPN, RN, or NP, this week is for you. Your dedication, compassion, and hard work do not go unnoticed.
Next, we really wanted to give our nurses an experience that they could enjoy together, and that they could never forget. That is why we decided to host Intely@Sea , which will bring hundreds of nursing professionals together to celebrate, relax, and learn together. One of the biggest pieces of feedback we heard is that nurses want a chance to completely step back and rest after all of the hours of strenuous work that their careers have demanded of them. With Intely@Sea, we are providing a space to recharge in the sun, sand, and sea!
We also heard that making time to keep up with CE requirements has been a challenge for all nursing professionals. So, while rest and relaxation will be a key component of Intely@Sea, providing easy access to CE credits will also be a major part of the experience. We have invited nursing influencers and subject matter experts to join the cruise and teach courses on everything from how to achieve nurse/life balance, nutrition, and food access, personal branding, and so much more. Creating the space for nursing professionals to focus on their long-term career goals is part of the rejuvenation that Intely@Sea will provide.
Not everyone can join us on the cruise, so we want to give every nursing professional the opportunity to access free educational resources. So, during Nurses Week, IntelyCare is providing the IntelyEdu Post-Acute Care Competency Training (PACCT) Bundle, worth 20 CEs for free! Any nursing professional will be able to take this course, 100% free of charge, from May 6 – May 13, using coupon code nurseweek22 .
“This is the way that nurses should be recognized and celebrated – with a Nursing Professionals Week that recognizes everyone’s commitments and contributions, that provides a real space to unwind and rejuvenate, and that gives access to many social and educational opportunities.”
Finally, we acknowledge that Nursing Professionals Week is not just about celebrating, but also about continuing the hard work of advocacy on behalf of nurses. Yet another thing that the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed to the world is that nursing professionals deserve better as employees, as caregivers, and as an integral part of the healthcare system that they are. They deserve commemoration and a chance to celebrate and grieve those nurses that were lost during the pandemic. That is why IntelyCare has signed on to sponsor and attend the Nurses March , taking place on Thursday, May 12 in Washington, D.C. We are very proud to stand alongside our fellow nursing professionals. Shaunna Siler, Nurse and Regional Clinical Quality at IntelyCare, will be speaking at the event, and Rebecca Love, Nurse, and Chief Clinical Officer will be providing a recorded message of support.
In addition to all these events, IntelyCare is always looking for ways to surprise and delight our nursing professionals throughout the year. During Nursing Professionals Week 2022, we will be doing a shoe giveaway with our partner, Gales+ , where we will be giving away 300 “IntelyCare Blue” shoes.
Nursing professionals have always deserved an enormous amount of recognition and thanks for dedicating their lives to patient care. Unfortunately, over time, the recognition has not been nearly big enough, and we hope to change going forward.
To our IntelyPros, and to nursing professionals everywhere, we want to say “thank you” for giving so much. This Nursing Professionals Week, we hope you feel sincerely acknowledged and valued because we can promise you – you are.
