Abstract

The 2024 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report published by NSI Nursing Solutions, Inc, was released early this year and indicated hospitals' average turnover and vacancy rates for RNs nearly returned to their 2019 levels in 2023 after peaking in the middle of that timeframe. Simultaneously, healthcare organizations continue to struggle with nurse retention. As nurses begin to return or enter the nursing profession, the time is here to ask why nurses are leaving your organization. In 1983, the original study, "Magnet Hospitals: Attraction and Retention of Professional Nurses," identified hospital characteristics that were able to "attract and retain a staff of well-qualified nurses and are therefore consistently able to provide quality care."
