Nurse Retention and Recruitment Strategies: Building a Strong and Engaged Nursing Workforce

High turnover and its associated costs contribute to a growing problem within healthcare organizations, creating inefficiencies and straining already limited assets. And the numbers show troubled waters ahead: 

• More than 50% of U.S. healthcare workers plan to leave their jobs in 2026.  
• About 40% of nurses plan to leave the workforce within three years. 
• While nurse practitioners were expected to fill the gap left by the ongoing physician shortage, the reclassification of nursing degrees as non-professional may significantly hamper those projections.  

Combating nurse turnover with effective retention and onboarding methods is more important than ever. Our nurse retention toolkit will provide you with the resources you need to attract and recruit, train and retain, and empower and engage the best nurses in the country.
