There are currently around 2.86 million registered nurses in the United States. Nurses provide a wide range of care and support depending on qualifications and licenses. Such tasks include, but are not limited to, taking vital signs, dispensing medication, bathing patients, changing bandages and dressings, preparing patients for surgery and maintaining patient medical records. Nurses can work in a variety of medical settings, which include physician’s offices, home health services, nursing care facilities, and hospitals.

Nursing growth

Registered nurses play a significant role in the functioning of many medical settings and there is an increasing demand for these trained professionals. Registered nursing is expected to be one of the largest growing occupations in the United States from 2016 to 2026, adding some 437,000 new jobs. Similarly, home health aid, personal care aid, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner are all among the fastest growing occupations in the U.S.

Nurses employed in nursing homes

Registered nurses play a vital role in nursing homes, although nursing assistants account for a larger portion of employees in this setting. As of 2017, there were around 155,450 registered nurses working in nursing homes across the United States. From 2016 to 2026, it is predicted that there will be an additional 1,100 jobs for registered nurses in nursing homes.

In the United States, a survey from 2024 conducted among nurse practitioners (NPs) revealed that the primary cause of burnout was excessive bureaucratic tasks. Specifically, 62 percent of respondents identified this as the leading factor contributing to their burnout. Despite long working shifts, only a third of NPs said their burnout was due to too many hours at work.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent expansion of telehealth may be exacerbating inequities in ambulatory care access due to institutional and structural barriers. We conduct a repeat cross-sectional analysis of ambulatory patients to evaluate for demographic disparities in the utilization of telehealth modalities. The ambulatory patient population at Oregon Health & Science University (Portland, OR) is examined from June 1 through September 30, in 2019 (reference period) and in 2020 (study period). We first assess for changes in demographic representation and then evaluate for disparities in the utilization of telephone and video care modalities using logistic regression. Between the 2019 and 2020 periods, patient video utilization increased from 0.2% to 31%, and telephone use increased from 2.5% to 25%. There was also a small but significant decline in the representation males, Asians, Medicaid, Medicare, and non-English speaking patients. Amongst telehealth users, adjusted odds of video participation were significantly lower for those who were Black, American Indian, male, prefer a non-English language, have Medicaid or Medicare, or older. A large portion of ambulatory patients shifted to telehealth modalities during the pandemic. Seniors, non-English speakers, and Black patients were more reliant on telephone than video for care. The differences in telehealth adoption by vulnerable populations demonstrate the tendency towards disparities that can occur in the expansion of telehealth and suggest structural biases. Organizations should actively monitor the utilization of telehealth modalities and develop best-practice guidelines in order to mitigate the exacerbation of inequities.

Methods A repeat cross-sectional study was conducted of patients who utilized the ambulatory clinics at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) from June 1 through September 30, in 2019 (reference period) and 2020 (study period). The study period was chosen because it exhibited a relatively stable rate of in-person, telephone, and video ambulatory visits. The initial months of the pandemic in March through May 2020 were marked by shifting state and institutional policies that affected appointment availability. By the summer of 2020, clinics were more open to scheduling in-person visits. We chose to investigate a later, more stable time-frame for disparities because we believe that the analysis would be more indicative of ongoing trends.

Unique patient counts were extracted from ambulatory provider-led visits, defined as outpatient visits with physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants. Visits modalities included in-person, video, or telephone, the latter two comprising telehealth. Patient demographics included ethnicity, race, preferred language, payer, age, and sex. The encounter-level data was aggregated by unique patient identifier into patient counts for the study period of June 1 through Sept 30, 2020. Table 1 displays unique patient counts of ambulatory care modality utilization (in-person, video, telephone, and any telehealth) for each demographic group (race, ethnicity, sex, preferred language, insurance, and age). There is also a column for total patients in that demographic group. In the main article, we performed logistic regression to evaluate the association of patient demographics with telehealth utilization. Table 2 displays unique patient counts of ambulatory care modality utilization for each demographic group only within primary care clinics.

Table 3 displays unique patient counts for each demographic group within the time periods before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: June 1 through Sept 30, 2019 and June 1 through Sept 30, 2020. In the study, we compared the proportional representation of demographic groups between before and during the pandemic to assess for overall changes in our patient population.

In a survey carried out in the United States in 2024, seven out of ten nurse practitioners (NPs) reported feeling depressed, burned out, or both. This last category amounted up to 28 percent of all respondents.

The General Practice Workforce series of Official Statistics presents a snapshot of the primary care general practice workforce. A snapshot statistic relates to the situation at a specific date, which for these workforce statistics is the last calendar day in the reporting period. Until July 2021, the snapshots were produced each quarter and were a record as of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December. However, we now collect and publish data on the general practice workforce on a monthly basis and the snapshot therefore relates to the last calendar day of each month, including weekends and public holidays. This monthly snapshot reflects the general practice workforce at 30 April 2022. These statistics present full-time equivalent (FTE) and headcount figures by four staff groups, (GPs, Nurses, Direct Patient Care (DPC) and administrative staff), with breakdowns of individual job roles within these high-level groups. For the purposes of NHS workforce statistics, we define full-time working to be 37.5 hours per week. Full-time equivalent is a standardised measure of the workload of an employed person. Using FTE, we can convert part-time and additional working hours into an equivalent number of full-time staff. For example, an individual working 37.5 hours would be classed as 1.0 FTE while a colleague working 30 hours would be 0.8 FTE. The term “headcount” relates to distinct individuals, and as the same person may hold more than one role, care should be taken when interpreting headcount figures. Please refer to the Using this Publication section for information and guidance about the contents of this publication and how it can and cannot be used. England-level time series figures for all job roles are available in the Excel bulletin tables back to September 2015 when this series of Official Statistics began. The Excel file also includes CCG-level FTE and headcount breakdowns for the current reporting period. CSVs containing practice-level summaries and CCG-level counts of individuals are also available. Please refer to the Publication content, analysis, and release schedule in the Using this publication section for more details of what’s available. In addition to the snapshot of the main general practice workforce, Annexes B and C in the Excel Bulletin tables include figures relating to the number of ad-hoc locum GPs working in general practice and information about their working hours. These figures used to be included in the main totals, but data relating to the ad-hoc locum workforce is collected differently and these figures do not constitute a snapshot. As a result, because they are not directly comparable to the snapshot, we now report these figures separately rather than including them in the overall totals. In May 2022 we introduced a quarterly publication using additional data sources to complement this publication, which brings together FTE staff working in general practice, including ad-hoc locums, and those working in Primary Care Networks. The first experimental edition was released on 19 May, initially presenting FTE primary care workforce statistics for the direct patient care, nurse and admin/non-clinical staff groups. The GP staff group is scheduled for release on 16 June, once final ad-hoc locum data becomes available. See https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/primary-care-workforce-quarterly-update for more information. We are continually working to improve our publications to ensure their contents are as useful and relevant as possible for our users. We welcome feedback from all users to PrimaryCareWorkforce@nhs.net.

This report shows monthly numbers of NHS Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) staff working in NHS Trusts and CCGs in England (excluding primary care staff). Data are available as headcount and full-time equivalents and for all months from 30 September 2009 onwards. These data are an accurate summary of the validated data extracted from the NHS HR and Payroll system. Additional statistics on staff in NHS Trusts and CCGs and information for NHS Support Organisations and Central Bodies are published each: September (showing June statistics) December/January (showing September statistics) March (showing December statistics) June (showing March statistics) Quarterly NHS Staff Earnings and monthly NHS Staff Sickness Absence reports and data relating to the General Practice workforce and the Independent Healthcare Provider workforce are also available via the Related Links below. Following feedback from data users, there will be a change to the HCHS doctor grades of 'Associate Specialist' and 'Specialty Doctor' in relevant tables in this publication series. Two new specialty doctor and specialist grades were introduced in April 2021 and both were reported in NHS Digital tables within the 'Specialty Doctor' grade. One of these new grades for specialist is more appropriately classified within the 'Associate Specialist' category in NHS Digital data tables. Therefore, from March 2022 these will be included within the 'Associate Specialist' category and removed from 'Specialty Doctor'. The March 2022 data in the Provisional statistics file in this publication reflects this new approach, and the time series for data back to April 2021 will be revised for these two categories in the full March 2022 publication, released in June 2022. We welcome feedback on the methodology and tables within this publication.
