Private practices have higher RN retention rates, survey finds
A CareerBuilder analysis found that registered nurses worked an average of 3.3 years at physician offices before changing jobs, while they only averaged 3.1 years at general hospitals and 1.8 years at long-term care facilities. The survey found 49% of nurses said staffing levels and advancement opportunities are factors for retention, 40% cited work overload and 35% mentioned salary.

Here's just another article noting the effects of staffing levels...Wonder of wonders, when will the powers that be, ever get that staffing needs to meet the needs not only of patients and there ever increasing acuity, but the needs of the staff providing care?????
It truly is not rocket science and the business that is healthcare these days really needs to put nurses and their needs higher on the ladder.
