State Hospital sees employment drop

Jamestown (CSi) Workers leaving employment at the North Dakota State Hospital topped the 100-per-year mark for the first time in 2015.

State Hospital Human Resources Manager, Lyle Grove says, in his annual report to the State Hospital’s board, that the 116 people who left employment at the State Hospital amounted to a 28 percent turnover rate, the highest recorded at the hospital.

Grove adds that the number of people resigning for other jobs has been consistent over the last three years, but the number of retirements and dismissals was up.

State Hospital superintendent, Rosalie Etherington says, the number of staff openings for nurses is also at an all-time high.
