  • National Nursing Workforce Study | NCSBN

    Every two years, NCSBN conducts the largest and most comprehensive national survey of the U.S. nursing workforce. The findings provide critical insight into the demographic and practice profiles of the nation’s nursing workforce. The National Nursing Workforce Survey generates information on the supply of nurses in the country, which is critical to workforce planning, and to ensure a safe and effective health care system. The 2026 National Nursing Workforce Survey is underway! Nurses across the country will be selected at random to participate in the survey. Those nurses who complete the survey will help us keep vital workforce issues at the forefront. When: April - Sept. 2026 Who: A nationally-representative sample of licensed registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs) from across the U.S. How: Surveys will be sent via email and U.S. mail.
