It depends. My manager knew she was gonna get two crops of fresh grads each year, so she didn't really try to create an environment conducive to keeping her nurses. Consequently, turnover was upwards of 50% within a year. I think she was just an exceptional case though. I'm not sure about Parkridge or Memorial, but Erlanger is currently on a hiring freeze and looking at cutting some nonessential staff.

I'm crossing my fingers. Things are getting interesting now, with all of the Erlanger budget cuts.

Our unit just hired two new NT's but we are all experiencing being called off quiet a bit. We will just see what happens.
