title: Calculating and updating nursing turnover costs.
abstract: A detailed study allowed FY 1988 nursing turnover costs to be calculated at four southeastern hospitals. These turnover costs were later updated using a procedure incorporating Consumer Price Index information. This procedure allows nurse administrators to determine and update turnover costs, to accurately evaluate the impact of nursing turnover, and to facilitate resource allocation.
