Objective: reflect on the current panorama and trends of the nursing workforce in Brazil and in the world. Method: theoretical-reflective essay based on data from reports from international and national health and nursing organizations, available on official websites, between February and September 2021. Results: the current scenario of the nursing workforce points to a global shortage of professionals, alerting to a contingent of people who will not have their health needs met. Brazil has a similar number of nursing professionals to developed countries, but with an unequal distribution and a small percentage of nurses in the composition of the workforce. Conclusion: even with global efforts to reduce nursing workforce shortages, the picture remains critical. It is fundamental work to achieve health for all, which requires investment in numbers, qualifications, and adequate working conditions.
