Nurse Retention Action Plan Workbook

Turn retention from good intentions into a tracked plan. Log every intervention by unit — category, owner, target date, status, and notes — and the workbook rolls them up into Open, In Progress, and Resolved counts, a percent-resolved figure, and a status chart. A dashboard also benchmarks your current RN turnover against the cited NSI national figure (source and edition dated). It's the simple operating cadence a nurse leader needs to keep retention moving and show progress to leadership. Pairs with the NursingWorkforce app.
