Not much. They've put together a retention committee to find out what people want but shoot down any recommendations that are made citing that the funds are not available. That being said supposedly system wide they're paying a million per day to travel agencies which somehow makes more sense than retention bonuses or decent raises.

My unit and hospital as a whole is really struggling with nurse retention. We have two hospitals that serve a large rural area. Both are level one trauma centers, my hospital is also preparing to be a level one stroke and STEMI facility but people are leaving in droves to go to the other hospital or various other areas. Upper management keeps saying "Money isn't everything" though most nurses are leaving for money. What are some strategies for nurse retention your facilities have offered, and please, feel free to include any monetary offers. :)
