The overqualification of nurses refers to the subjective perception of individual nurses that their qualifications are higher than the needs of their positions. This perception can motivate more positive work behaviors, but neglecting its management will hinder nurses from realizing their professional values and lead to burnout and even the loss of nursing talent. This paper reviews the concept, measurement tools, research status, and influencing factors of nurses' overqualifications. It proposes corresponding strategies, aiming to provide nursing managers with a reference for effectively managing overqualified nurses.
