50,000 Nursegrid Users Name 204 Hospitals as Great Workplaces for Nurses
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 30, 2026 — Nursegrid, the #1 app for nurses with more than 650,000 active users nationwide, today announced the inaugural 2026 Nursegrid Great Workplaces for Nurses list, recognizing 204 hospitals and healthcare facilities across the United States that have earned the trust and enthusiastic endorsement of their nursing staff. The list is built entirely from direct feedback collected from working nurses—with no employer nominations, no self-reported data, and no paid placement of any kind.
The recognition, available today at greatworkplaces.nursegrid.com, spans 147 metro areas and is rooted in a straightforward but powerful question posed to Nursegrid’s nurse community: “Would you recommend your workplace to another nurse?” More than 50,000 nurses responded, producing what Nursegrid describes as the largest collection of peer-recommended hospitals and healthcare facilities ever assembled.
What Sets This List Apart
Unlike traditional workplace rankings, which often rely on employer-submitted surveys, voluntary nominations, or paid participation, the Nursegrid Great Workplaces for Nurses list is generated entirely from frontline nurse experience. Participating facilities did not apply, submit materials, or provide employer-generated data. The list reflects the collective voice of nurses who are actively working shifts at the recognized facilities.
Responses were collected via the Nursegrid app using a five-point rating scale. Before any facility was considered for inclusion, it was required to meet Nursegrid’s proprietary qualification standards, including minimum response thresholds and active-user benchmarks, to ensure that results reflected broad nurse sentiment rather than isolated opinions. Qualifying facilities were then evaluated using statistical modeling to identify the highest-performing locations within each metro area.
Why This Matters for Healthcare
Nursing workforce challenges continue to shape healthcare delivery across the country. Nurse retention, recruitment, and engagement remain urgent priorities for hospital systems of all sizes. Recognition rooted in authentic nurse feedback provides a meaningful signal—both for nurses evaluating potential employers and for healthcare leaders seeking to understand and communicate workplace culture.
Nurses surveyed in the program highlighted coworker trust, strong leadership, professional growth opportunities, and fair patient-to-nurse ratios as the qualities that define a great workplace. The results suggest that facilities earning recognition have succeeded in creating environments where nurses feel supported, respected, and motivated to stay.
