The purpose of our study was to determine whether there is a relationship between renal cortical thickness or length measured on ultrasound and the degree of renal impairment in chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND METHODS.
Where Have All the Nurses Gone? According to Nursing Solutions' 2013 National Healthcare and Registered Nurse Retention Report, hospital turnover rates in 2013 range from 8.7 to 31.7 percent nationwide. The national average for that year is 14.7 percent, up slightly from the previous year. The swelling labor market plays a part. As the economy heats up, voluntary turnover rates increase, with staff looking to secure better positions and promotions elsewhere. Alarmingly, more than 37 percent of Nursing Solutions' hospital respondents report a 2013 registered nurse vacancy rate above 7.5 percent.
Turnover Rate Example. For example, if ABC Plumbing started 2016 with 10 people, ended 2016 with 16 people, and had 6 people quit during 2016, their turnover rate is calculated by: 10 + 16 = 26; 26/2 = 13 = average number of employees; 6/13 = 46% = employee turnover rate; Anything over 20% is considered a very high turnover rate. The goal is to be 10% or less, depending on your industry. The Cost of Employee Turnover. SHRM estimates that the average cost per hired employee in the US is $4,129, plus it takes nearly 42 days to find them.
