The more than 3,500 nurses who took part in the American Nurse Journals seventh annual Trends and Salary Survey helped paint a slightly more hopeful portrait of nursing in 2023 with regard to turnover rates, higher salaries, and personal safety. https://www.myamericannurse.com/2023-nursing-trends-and-salary-survey-results/

Although roughly the same percentage of nurse managers and clinical nurses reported that their salaries increased within the past 12 months, these increases appear to be lifting more nurses into the highest tiers of the salary scale. The portion making less than $69,000 fell while those making $80,000 and above increased. However, more of the nurses responding to this year’s survey had 15 or more years of experience and fewer of them had less than 5 years.
These higher salaries may be why nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents say they have no intention of seeking another job in the next 3 months. However, more say they could be swayed by an offer with a higher salary—68% vs 56% last year. Those who do intend to leave their job cite dissatisfaction with the salary as one of their top reasons. In fact, when we asked nurses what, other than staffing, were the top two issues facing nursing, salary was mentioned most often.
