Healthcare Workforce Resilience: RN, LPN & Support Staff Turnover Trends

$995.00

RN turnover is holding at 17% across the US. And 62.5% of healthcare providers say recruitment and retention is their top challenge for 2026.

Turnover is not the same for every role or person. Some groups leave much faster than others. Early-career nurses face the greatest risk. That threatens long-term workforce stability.

The problem looks different by region too. Turnout in nursing homes varies a lot across the country. And many nurses are already planning their exit.

Every report is human‑verified before delivery. You get the latest numbers, not last year’s.

  • 22% of Gen Z and 21% of millennial RNs leave their positions.

  • 41.3% of LPNs and licensed vocational nurses plan to leave the workforce or retire within five years.

  • In skilled nursing facilities, CNA turnover stays near 42.3%—far higher than most other healthcare roles.

  • The average hospital loses between $4.2 million and $6.2 million each year from RN turnover alone.

  • Turnout for RNs ranges from 14.6% in the Northeast to 18% in the South Central region.
