In 2023, three quarters of hospitals in the U.S. reported a registered nurse vacancy rate higher than ten percent. According to this survey, only five percent of hospitals had 95 percent or more of their RN positions filled. A high vacancy rate plus difficulty to hire new staff means hospitals need some drastic measures to address these RN shortages.
