Introduction
This section will delve into the increased turnover rates within the nursing field at Sentara Healthcare. The United States Office of Personnel Management (2018) highlights the substantial financial impact of nursing turnover on hospitals. By examining turnover rates through human resource and performance metrics, insights into nursing staff ratios at state and national levels will be gained. Aligning with Sentara’s strategic direction aimed at enhancing the quality of life for patients, clinicians, and communities, addressing high nursing turnover rates becomes crucial for achieving organizational objectives and fostering a culture of excellence in care.
