How to Reduce New Nurse Turnover

Contact Hours: 1.5

Author(s):

Cathleen Adams MBA, RN, CENP

Course Overview

New graduate nurse turnover has increased faster than the overall nurse turnover. New graduate nurses leaving the field can lead to poor-quality outcomes and a reduction in staff satisfaction, further determining and contributing to the nursing shortage.

One of the primary reasons nurses leave the field within their first year is a lack of collegial relationships. Additional surveys showcase bullying and incivility against new nurses, which has been documented for over 30 years and is still active today. Seasoned nurses can improve new nurse turnover rates by providing them with support, camaraderie, and civility.
