If you are looking for a systematic way to quantify the costs of turnover, with equations and a variety of contingencies, refer to Cascio and Boudreau's book Investing in People. Best resource in my opinion.
In terms of health care, nursing staff can be considered as front line managers. They are the one in direct touch with patients, the final end point consumer.
In terms of direct cost,
Recruitment - selection cost
Training and orientation cost
additional documentation and clerical work
It also affects most important attribute, reputation of organization also.
Talking about staff relationship, obviously one would not prefer to work with ever changing staff comfortably. As per Elton Mayo, workplaces are social environments. social networking is having impact on productivity also. Hence, high turnover affects performance of other available staff also.
even patients consider past experience at the time of choosing health care options. (Unadkat, P. (2014). Empirical study on various factors influencing preferences of patients for availing medical consultancy in Rajkot city, Gujarat, India. PHILICA.COM Article number 419)
so if patient finds frequent change in the nurses, who are the actual care taker of patients, it will affect their outcomes and future preference also.
