Abstract
The study discusses how monetary input, non-monetary characteristics and environment influence the turnover rate of nursing human capital. The data was dated from January 2001 through December 2006 and collected from a hospital in northern Taiwan. We also distributed a questioner to the nursing professions in that hospital during March 2007, and investigated how environmental characters influence their separation decision. The empirical evidence shows that the learning cost spend by the hospital, and the nursing profession's background characters would have various influences on their turnover rate. Also, we found the higher the nursing professions are satisfied with the working environment and leadership, the lower the turnover rate. The research result would provide suggestions to hospital management to lower the turnover rate.
