Approximately 40% of nursing home administrators leave their jobs each year. Directors of nursing leave their positions at a slightly higher rate. The average tenure for nursing home administrators and directors of nursing falls just short of three years. Many facilities are forced to conduct new searches for administrators and directors of nursing annually.
