This is often especially acute in industries with traditionally higher turnover such as retail, health care and manufacturing.

Suicide is a challenging concern for health care workers, with an estimated 300 to 400 physicians dying from suicide in the U.S. each year. However, the same type of national data on nurse suicide rates is lacking. Nurse leaders should recognize and respond to factors that contribute to nurse suicide.
