I figured out why new hires keep quitting at my hospital after 2 weeks on nights
I work nights on a med-surg floor and noticed our unit lost 4 new grads between January and March, all within about 14 days of starting. Nobody was quitting because of the work itself. They quit because orientation put them on days for 6 weeks and then flipped them to nights with zero buffer, so they were driving home at 8am after a 12 hour shift on no sleep. Now I tell every new hire to ask for a 3 day gap before the flip and it works, so why is this not standard anywhere?
