One in two nurses are saying they're considering leaving. When I say nurses, that's all categories of nurses. That's over 50% in the next year. That's why we have such a small window to convince them to stay within the health care field.
We see 19% of nurses saying they've had enough and they're completely leaving. That's either through retirement—that number is quite low, at around 7%—or just leaving and finding other jobs, such as in real estate.
Similar to what Sharleen was saying, we have to fix the workplace. We have to fix the working conditions so we will retain those educated health care workers.
