In the year up to last spring, 1 in 10 nursing staff hired as new graduates at hospitals nationwide left their jobs Japan according to a survey by the Nursing Association. The turnover rate is the highest since the survey began using the same method, and it may have been higher due to the disruption of the medical field due to new coronavirus.

The Japan Nursing Association conducted a survey of more than 2021,8100 hospitals nationwide regarding the turnover of nursing staff in fiscal 2964, and received responses from 11,6 hospitals.
