This calculator helps you determine the nursing turnover rate within your healthcare facility. Understanding your turnover rate is crucial for assessing staff satisfaction, identifying potential issues, and managing recruitment and retention costs.
function calculateNursingTurnover() {
var totalNurses = parseFloat(document.getElementById("totalNurses").value);
var nursesDeparted = parseFloat(document.getElementById("nursesDeparted").value);
var newNursesHired = parseFloat(document.getElementById("newNursesHired").value);
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result");
resultDiv.innerHTML = ""; // Clear previous results

}
// Calculate the average number of nurses during the period
// The standard formula often uses the average headcount.
// For simplicity and common practice in quick calculations,
// we'll use the initial headcount as the denominator if a period-end headcount isn't provided.
// A more robust calculation would average beginning and ending headcount, but this is standard for rate calculation.
var denominator = totalNurses; // Using initial employment as the base for turnover rate
// Calculate turnover rate
var turnoverRate = (nursesDeparted / denominator) * 100;
// Calculate retention rate (optional but useful)
var retainedNurses = totalNurses – nursesDeparted;
var retentionRate = (retainedNurses / totalNurses) * 100;
// Calculate hire rate (optional but useful)
var hireRate = (newNursesHired / denominator) * 100;
