How this is calculated
Your hiring need is the nurses you replace from turnover plus about 0.5% a year for workforce growth [2]. Turnover cost uses the average cost of a single RN departure [1]. Every figure updates with your inputs.
- Hires
500 nurses × (17.6% + 0.5%) × 5 yr = 453 hires - Cost
500 × 17.6% × $60,090 = $5,287,920/yr - Savings
500 × 3.0% × $60,090 = $901,350/yr
Cost per RN turnover $60,090 [1]. Annual growth 0.5% [2]. US RN turnover 17.6% [1].
