    AbstractFailure to deal effectively and promptly with high medical intensive care unit (MICU) staff turnover can cause severe problems. This study demonstrates how monitoring turnover indices might have anticipated a critical shortage of experienced staff that forced this hospital to shut down needed MICU beds. Determinative attitudinal factors are identified from a survey of nurses and supervisors. The authors identify critical problem components and recommends measures to increase staff retention.
