Turnover is real

Cutting corners on RN benefits and working conditions proves costly for St. Joseph Medical Center-Tacoma
We know from our experience that nurses are leaving St. Joe’s. We are stretched too thin, working under moral distress and burned out.
WSNA pulled the numbers, and the statistics confirm our feelings. Read our latest blog post and you’ll learn that:
“ “… turnover at SJMC in 2017 was a whopping 44% higher than the national average, while 2018 turnover came in a close second at “only” 21.5% greater than the national average. These numbers are unacceptable.”
We’re taking these numbers to the public and we’re taking them to management. We’re telling them this is obscene. Arm yourself with the facts.
