Background:

Growing awareness of neurodivergence contrasts with limited research in nursing.
Nursing retention and well-being face systemic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a scoping review of literature on neurodivergence in the nursing workforce.
To identify knowledge gaps regarding neurodivergent nurses.

Main Methods:

Scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-Scoping guidelines.
Searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO (1999-2025).
Included empirical studies, reviews, and textual evidence on neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, dyslexia) in nurses.

Main Results:

Twenty-two sources were included, primarily focusing on dyslexia and neurodiversity.
Neurodivergent nurses exhibit strengths like deep focus and novel perspectives, alongside challenges in documentation and multitasking.
Adaptations were reported at individual, interpersonal, and intraprofessional levels, influenced by systemic factors like medical framing and gender bias.

Conclusions:

Literature on neurodivergent nurses is scarce, highlighting a significant knowledge gap.
Ableism and insufficient research impede neurodivergent nurses' well-being and career progression.
Recognizing neurodivergence can boost nursing workforce retention, innovation, and inclusivity.
