A Specialized Practice for Nursing Leaders
Stabilizing the Nursing Workforce
The nursing shortage is the single greatest operational and financial threat facing healthcare systems today. We partner with you to move beyond reactive staffing and build a sustainable, resilient nursing workforce for the future.
The Anatomy of the Nursing Crisis
The nursing shortage is a multi-faceted crisis with staggering financial implications. Understanding the key data points is the first step toward building an effective solution.
The Scale of the Shortage
A projected national deficit of 207,980 RNs and a staggering 302,440 LPNs by 2037 threatens access to care.
The Cost of Turnover
With an average RN turnover rate of 18.4%, each departing nurse costs an average of $56,300 to replace, draining millions from hospital budgets annually.
Early-Career Exodus
Nearly 18% of newly licensed RNs quit the profession within their first year, signaling a critical failure in onboarding and early-career support.
Constrained Pipeline
For the first time in two decades, nursing school enrollment is declining, constrained by a shortage of faculty and clinical placement sites.
