Abstract:

Experienced nurses depart the workforce in significant numbers; therefore, it is critical to understand how those departures affect patient care and safety. The focus of this systematic review included appraisal of recent research to provide an understanding of strategies used in acute care settings to retain experienced nurses. Guided by Benner's model of skill acquisition, the purpose of this systematic review was to identify factors that influence the decision of nurses with experience to leave or remain working in acute care work settings. The 19 articles selected for this review were limi

Background: There are ever increasing demands on the emergency nursing workforce so it is necessary to consider how to enhance the recruitment and retention of emergency nurses. Personality is known to influence occupational choice, yet there is a lack of research exploring how personality may influence the workforce decisions of emergency nurses. Aims: To establish the personality profile of a sample of emergency nurses, and to explore whether any relationship exists between their personality characteristics and time spent working within emergency nursing. Methods: A standardised personality

Abstract:

Attrition is a serious issue in the nursing industry. One factor influencing rates of attrition in nursing is aggression victimization at work (Estryn-Behar et al., 2010). However, there is little research in the aggression literature that examines how aggression from different sources affects attrition (both job and career turnover) differently. This study attempts to better understand the linkages between aggression victimization and nursing attrition; specifically how aggression from different sources (i.e. patients/patients’ families, coworkers, and licensed independent practitioners) diff

Abstract:

<p>Nursing is the largest health care profession in the United States, and health care organizations rely heavily on the services of registered nurses to provide quality care to patients.

Bullying has long been associated with school children. In recent years, however, more attention has been paid to the bullying that has reached beyond the playground and into the workforce. One population facing this problem is staff nurses. To date, no one has found an effective way to address workplace bullying in the healthcare field, nor have effective methods been found for retaining trained nurses affected by this problem. The focus of this dissertation was on understanding nurses' lived experiences and how nurses decided to remain in their current working position despite these problems

The expectation that nurses be competent in Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) is today a forgone conclusion. The question is no longer should nurses be trained in BCLS, but how to ensure competency once initial training is complete. This study aspired to answer two questions: (a) after retraining to American Heart Association (AHA) standards, how long does it take for nurses' BCLS performance (on adults) to again drop below AHA standards, and (b), is there a relationship between nurses' demographic characteristics and their BCLS performance, upon retesting.

For several decades, one of the major issues facing Australia’s health sector has been a shortage of nurses; a trend also evidenced across many other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Without a suitably sized nursing workforce, a society’s ability to care for the population is diminished, and will continue so unless this trend is reversed. One of the factors contributing to this shortage is the poor retention of currently employed nurses, which results from, in part, a high proportion of nurses lacking commitment to their organisations.

Subsequently, hospitals continue to face shortages of staff because of high turnover and low retention levels. Nonetheless, evidence from reviewed literature has indicated that the use of residency programs can increase NGNs' stay at bedside, improve retention, reduce costs of operations, and return employees' turnover.
