Indian Nursing Workforce – At Home & Abroad
There are currently over 1.79 million registered nurses and midwives in India.
There are over 2.6 million Indian-born people living in the U.S. and over 4 million Indian Americans, making Indian Americans one of the largest and fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States.

In the U.S., over 15% of the more than 3.7 million registered nurses in the United States are foreign-born, many of whom completed their training in countries other than the U.S.
There is a nationwide shortage of nurses in the U.S. due to a growing and aging population and many nurses retiring, but the demand for nurses differs from state to state. Within each state, more nurses may be needed in either cities or in rural areas.
