Nursing Shortages Statistics

GITNUXREPORT 2026

Nursing Shortages Statistics

With an estimated 6.6 million healthcare staff shortage in the U.S. and nurse staffing strain driving higher adverse outcomes and costs, this page turns projections into something you can feel on the shift. It also ties retention pressure to a 15% global nurse and midwife turnover rate and quantifies what unsafe staffing costs hospitals in dollars per patient, so you can see exactly what is at stake and why it is still getting worse.

Nursing shortages are not just a staffing problem anymore. In 2025, vacancy related labor cost premiums hit 9% for affected hospital units, a sharp signal that the pressure is showing up directly on unit budgets. But costs are only part of the picture since the same staffing strain is linked to measurable harms to patients, from unsafe care reports to worse clinical outcomes.
