Despite record high nurse turnover across the U.S., health systems and hospitals can still effectively hire and retain nurses. UC Davis Health maintained a very low nurse turnover rate during the pandemic, while the national average surged to over 21%.
During this discussion Etka Vyas, Ph.D., Deputy Chief Human Resources Officer at UC Davis Health, and Iman Abuzeid, M.D., CEO at Incredible Health, shared tactical advice for healthcare executives to:
- Leverage Incredible Health to hire experienced, permanent nurses
- Foster a close partnerships between recruiters and nurse hiring managers
- Track, analyze, and share actionable real-time hiring data insights
- Streamline internal processes to increase nurse hiring speed
- Get input from nurses on key decisions to drive retention
- Develop career ladders and opportunities for nurses to join leadership
- Build a culture that fosters nurse resilience
