Turnover

Hi everyone, 

It is such a weird time on my unit. I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong. I have staff leaving, couple have been on nightshift for a while, found other departments on dayshift. One moved across the state, and another moving up to management role. I had a rapid hire with COVID and doing another one right now. My concern is that I will not have a skill mix that near equivalent on the unit. Has anyone had such turnover on their unit? How did it work out?

Are you running a CV ICU?  I seek to hire a skill level similar to a CV ICU, but I am not in an ICU.  However, I have gotten ICU applicants recently who stated that they are trying to get out of the ICU due to working with COVID patients.  They do not complain of fear of catching COVID, rather they are physically and mentally exhausted.  So, you may be correct, it may not be you.
