The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation reports that one in five nurses leave their first nursing job within one year of hire.
That’s a sobering statistic given that it takes a minimum of two years to get the necessary education, plus passing a national licensing exam and getting licensed (which requires a fee) within the state of residence.
Why would a nurse be so quick to leave?
Although there are many other employment opportunities for nurses these days, most still work in hospitals, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Still, nurses may want to leave the hospital environment, and managers often wonder why.
Nurses want to leave hospitals for a number of reasons.
A certain amount of turnover can actually be a good thing, as new employees can bring new ideas, skills and perspectives to an organization.
Excessive turnover, however, is costly, can be demoralizing to staff and is time-consuming from the point of dealing with the termination process, hiring new nurses and training them.
The reasons nurses want to leave a hospital range from working conditions to pay to relationships to personal issues.
