Join Newsweek editor Aman Kidwai and a panel of health care industry professionals for a discussion about how hospitals can turn travel nurses into full-time staff nurses.
COVID-19 created an unprecedented demand for nursing support, leading many hospitals to spend big on travel nurses—and staff nurses, in turn, to chase the travelers’ paychecks. Five years later, many hospitals are struggling to break this pricey habit. Along with the financial concerns, reliance on contract labor can create a culture problem as nurses constantly cycle in and out.
This panel will share strategies from organizations that have successfully converted traveling nurses to full-time staff members, so other health systems can follow that same success.
