High nurse turnover can have several negative consequences, including:
- Patient Care: Increased nurse turnover can disrupt patient care continuity and lead to poorer patient outcomes. - Financial Costs: The cost of recruiting, hiring, and training new nurses can be significant. - Staff Morale: High turnover can negatively impact the morale of remaining staff, leading to further turnover and decreased productivity. - Reputation: Frequent turnover can harm a healthcare facility's reputation, making it more challenging to attract and retain quality staff.
