The California hospital system gave $100,000 bonuses to nurses for retention. Did it work? Hey, it's Emma with incredible health. Let's discuss. So here's the bet. In 2023, Palomar Hospital in Southern California decided to offer $100,000 sign on bonuses and $100,000 retention bonuses for nurses who agreed to stay for three years. Why $100,000 and why three years? So first of all, they knew they needed to do something drastic to reduce contract labor. That's why the $100,000. Then they also knew within their system that if nurses stayed for three years, there was a higher probability they would stay longer. Did it work? Now, according to Becker's Hospital Review, they didn't need three years to see the impact. The program was incredible in reducing reliance on travelers and agency staffing. We've been able to staff our emergency department fully with very little contract labor. Would you take this bonus? And do you think using incentives like this will work long-term for hospitals?
