Zero-RN days: how often US nursing homes ran a day with no registered nurse on the floor
In the CMS Payroll-Based Journal's 2025 Q2 snapshot, 5.86% of nursing-home facility-days with residents present recorded zero registered-nurse direct-care hours — 77,542 days across 5,062 facilities. The rate ranged from 27.9% in Louisiana to 0.2% in Rhode Island. Days before the federal staffing floor was rescinded, this is the baseline the country now keeps.
