A Lean Guy Reads "Health Leaders" on Nursing Retention
Today, I'm reading the latest issue of Health Leaders magazine (March/April 2019) whose cover features a number of stories about nursing retention.\n\nThe lead article shares some data about recruitment and retention. The article says that 17% of \u201cnewly licensed RNs\u201d leave their first nursing job \u201cwithin the first year.\u201d 33% leave within two years.\n\nInstead of blaming nurses for leaving, better organizations are looking in the mirror to see what they can do to improve the work environment. That's always been one of my primary motivations for Lean in any workplace \u2014 providing a better, more fulfilling work setting.\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lean-blog-audio/support
