title: Overworked RNs, social workers cause high nursing assistant turnover in nursing homes.
abstract: Using benchmarking to stanch the loss of employees. Many nursing homes and long-term care facilities have a burdensome employee turnover rate, in some cases approaching 400% annually. A benchmarking study conducted by Southern University and the Louisiana State Nursing Home Association revealed that the factors widely believed to cause the problem--wages, benefits, and workload--are not to blame. Take a look at the results.
