Nursing turnover is one of the biggest issues impacting profitability and performance in healthcare
organizations. Healthcare organizations require a highly trained, fully engaged, and stable workforce. Losing
critical employees impacts healthcare in many ways including a) Decreased quality of patient care, b) Loss of
patience, c) Increased accident and absenteeism rates, and d) Increase staffing costs.
It could be argued that “employees quit managers, not businesses.” Depending on the organizational type, it
may be easier for some nurses to quit. Here are a few factors that drive turnover in nursing:
• Feeling disrespected in the workplace
• Poor communication among team members
• Lack of trust
• Ineffective collaboration with others
