About this research brief

RN turnover rates continue to rise upwards of 17%, costing U.S. hospitals over $17 billion annually. With the average cost of replacing a single RN estimated at $50K, Relias set out to understand what drivers cause a nurse to leave.

Do the reported generational differences among nurses, particularly millennial nurses, create different resignation risk drivers than the rest of the nursing workforce?

Relias surveyed 1,270 nurses to answer this question and found that generation had no impact on 17 out of 20 meaningful turnover risk factors identified.
