👋 Hello Nurses & Healthcare Leaders,
As we move through 2025, the U.S. nursing job market continues to shift — and fast. With rising demand, evolving immigration policy, and workforce burnout still impacting hospitals nationwide, now is the time to stay informed.
Whether you’re a jobseeker planning to work in the U.S. or an employer struggling to fill RN vacancies, this guide breaks down what you need to know in 2025.
📈 U.S. Nursing Demand: Still Sky-High
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects over 200,000 RN job openings each year through 2031.
Shortages are worst in acute care, long-term care, and rural hospitals.
Aging baby boomers are increasing the need for geriatric and home health nurses.
💡What it means for jobseekers:
✅ Faster job offers

🌍 International Nurses: A Growing Solution
U.S. hospitals are increasingly turning to global talent to address shortages, especially in:
ICU & Med-Surg
Long-Term Care
Emergency & Telehealth Nursing
Visa sponsorships (EB-3 & TN) are expected to rise as more employers expand international recruitment pipelines.
🚨 Visa retrogression continues to delay green card processing, but experts predict improvement by Q4 2025.
