A Conversation with HealthStream and Chamberlain University

With razor-thin margins and consistently asked to do more with less, the 2024 picture of staff retention continues to be a complex challenges for nurse leaders. As organizations struggle to fill positions, remaining employees are the ones left to carry the weight. With burnout on the rise as a symptom of retention, it’s more pivotal than ever for organizations to find ways to mitigate these challenges.
