The Costs and Benefits of Nurse Turnover: A Business Case for Nurse Retention
Abstract
Nurse turnover is a recurring problem for health care organizations. Nurse retention focuses on preventing nurse turnover and keeping nurses in an organization’s employment. However, decisions about nurse turnover and retention are often made without the support of full and complete knowledge of their associated costs and benefits. This article identifies common nurse turnover and retention costs and benefits, discusses the use of benefit-cost and cost-effectiveness analysis relevant to nurse turnover and retention, and calls for the construction of a business case for nurse retention. It also provides a foundation for including the costs and benefits of nurse turnover and retention in estimating the economic value of nursing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
