Nursing Vacancy & FTE Forecasting Workbook

See the staffing hole before it opens. For each unit, enter budgeted versus filled FTEs, the trailing departure rate, the retirement-age headcount, and expected monthly hires, and the workbook projects your month-by-month FTE gap over the next six months and the cumulative travel-nurse premium of leaving it unfilled. A forecast dashboard shows current vacancy, the projected six-month gap, the cumulative premium, and the monthly net change, with two charts. Every figure is computed from your own inputs. Pairs with the NursingWorkforce app.
