Turnover
In the healthcare setting, it has been studied that within the current staffing, scheduling, and patient care levels, something are needed to be done to avoid unsafe circumstances (Richards). If any of these examples become a problem, a nurse may start to think of turnover. Turnover is the effect of quitting a job. Richards states that in the nursing field, it is common for nurses to turnover because of how little time they get for themselves or sleep time (Richards). For those who have self-scheduling it can be seen as an advantage; however, the nurse who chooses to work 72 hours in a work-week is following the path to fatigue. This then causes the nurse who has been over exerted to quit or even stop nursing altogether. WHY IS TURNOVER
