There might be several reasons for high turnover:

Lack of growth.

Lack of incentives.

Non-recognition of service by other departments.

Department head's attitude.

Problems of overcoming the issue is to take feedback from the employees and act accordingly.

Offer better salaries or bonuses.

Transfer of the H.O.D.

Hello, and thank for the request.

I personally would give these reasons as a first assumption:

A- The amount of efforts needed in the critical care is greater than that in other areas.

B- While true that nurse staff get  allowances as a bonus in this job, but they don't seem to feel motivated and as a result, they leave to other areas that while don't have the allowances C.C offer, it is a better and easier option.

C- Maybe the critical condition of the patients who arrive are not worth the payment the nurse receive to keep going on caring for them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, the things I might suggest would be a more beneficial system that might go like this in simple words:

1- The critical degree of the condition that arrive decides the value of payment a nurse gets to take care of them(The more critical a condition is, the more payment they receive); and vice versa.

2- If possible that the number of patients one nurse can hold is limited by a certain score of the condition based on (Point-system), so that nurses don't get carried away taking over their capabilities just to try to earn extra money.

3- A reward system for co-operation between nurses depending on the sensitivity level of cases arrive there(it can be something other than money-based).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is my humble view of the situation.

Thank you for consulting me.

Greetings !

Thanks for invitation.

Increase in employees turnover have multiple reasons to pin point reasons or to find the solutions we need to to do little research or survey.Such as organizational culture & behavior.survey.

Few examples for increase in employees increase turnover can be;

1: Poor human resources policies i.e. improper selection & recruitment,vague job descriptions,less than market employees benefits & compensation ,no or low long services rewards,no pension, work harassment ,no or low recreation mandatory annual leaves ,no or low in-service education,poor leadership,no mentoring,no or low sense of belonging to organization,no job internal or external job rotations,employee share ownership plans,corruption etc.
