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 rates differ by industry as hospitality organizations averaged the highest total turnover rate at 33.7 percent. Total turnover was 16.5 percent in banking and finance, compared to 10.8 percent in insurance. Companies in the utilities industry reported the lowest average total turnover rate, 6.5 percent.he average total turnover rate reported for employers from 2011 was 15.2 percent, according to Compdata Surveys BenchmarkPro 2012 survey results. Thatâs up slightly from 14.4 percent reported a year ago.
