that staffing woes have eased slightly,
challenges remain, including:
Turnover. The percentage of respondents
reporting an increased RN
turnover rate in the past 12 months
dropped from 44% in 2023 to 30%
this year. The same percentage also
dropped for STs,
from 42% to 33%.
Nearly half (48%) of respondents reported
that turnover rate had stayed
the same for both RNs and STs.
