Why Nurses Are Saying "I’m Done."

The healthcare system wasn’t built to support nurses—it was built to survive them. Here’s what the data says about why so many are walking away, and how Flor plans to flip the script.

• 🧠 16.4% RN turnover costs hospitals an average of $4.75M annually
• 🕒 It takes 83 days to hire an experienced RN
• 💸 Each nurse that leaves costs hospitals $61,110
• 📉 22.3% of RNs quit in their first year
• 📬 Recruiter spam, vague job posts, and burnout drive good nurses out of the field

But here’s what’s even more frustrating: Nurses can’t find good jobs because most job sites charge hospitals for visibility. That means:

• 💰 Hospitals pay per click, not per hire
• 🔺 Promoted listings flood search results, pushing real jobs down
• 🧭 Nurses can’t filter by what matters—loan forgiveness, pay, schedule, or actual mission
