Time of the year doesn't matter what matters is your PD and whether you have 5 years or more to wait. If you have more than 5 years then I would suggest waiting until your PD is near as vsc only has a 5 year date on it and then you have to pay again to renew

PD is the date your I140 was filed and approved and this is filed by your employer. Generally nurses come under EB3 which if you keep an eye on the US visa bulletin will indicate how long you have to wait, keep in mind these dates move up and down
