  • Title: Preventing nursing turnover in home care.
    Author: Bennett CC.
    Journal: Caring; 2000 Apr; 19(4):10-2. PubMed ID: 11009786.
    Abstract:
    Turnover is costly to any organization. Frequently, turnover creates a ripple effect that is felt by the agency, its patients, and staff at all levels. The very nature of home care creates an environment in which nurses are not visible in the office every day. It is difficult to track the activities of new employees on a day-to-day basis to know how they are progressing through the orientation process. What causes turnover among registered nurses within the first six months of employment? One agency shares its story and related findings.
