Specialty
ICU nurse jobs, and hiring ICU nurses
Adult intensive care is a hospital specialty. Units differ (medical, surgical, neuro, cardiac), and a facility’s posting is more specific than this page. We match the specialty you both named. We do not rank clinical skill.
Critical care is on NSI’s specialty chart. The 2026 narrative does not publish a standalone ICU turnover percentage, so this page does not invent one.
Across hospitals in the 2026 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report, staff RN turnover was 17.6% and the vacancy rate was 8.6%. Those are national hospital figures from 527 acute care hospitals in 40 states, covering calendar year 2025. They are not a vacancy rate for ICU in a particular city. Read the report.
Where to look
The first city pages are the metros we are building supply for. Every state has its own licensure and hiring page.
Does this page list ICU job openings?
No. JobPosting data is reserved for roles a partner actually publishes. This version has none.
Can a hospital see ICU nurses who want its city?
Yes, as an anonymous count and an anonymous summary, and only if the nurse opted in. There is no fit score on that screen. Names wait for the nurse’s approval.
