NURSES’ RETENTION AND HOSPITAL CHARACTERISTICS IN NEW SOUTH WALES
Table 2 presents sample sizes and retention rates by type of hospital in NSW.10 The broad types of
hospitals are described in detail in Appendix 2. It might have been expected that hospital type would
impact on nursing quit rates. There is some variation in retention rates across types: from 78% in
principal referral hospitals to 83% in district and community hospitals. However, this variation is not
very large. As seen below in the econometric results, the hospital type itself does not significantly
influence the retention probabilities but he hospital characteristics do.
