Enhancing your Nurse Residency program with proven tools to support leaders, preceptors and nurse residents.
REDUCE NURSE TURNOVER
INDIVIDUALIZE COMPETENCE
GROW CONFIDENCE
Are you struggling to retain nurses, balance cost, and ensure quality?
Between 2015 and 2020, the average hospital has turned over 89% of its workforce and lost $3.6 – $6.1 million annually, according to NSI. This issue alone can put an organization out of business. We’ve proven a sustainable improvement on nurse retention over 4+ years across multiple sites. Given the competitive marketplace and high cost of temporary expand-content, you need a proven solution that is molded around your organization’s DNA.
