Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Registered nurses (RNs) experience involuntary job displacement, including transfers, reassignments, or layoffs.
  • This phenomenon is often driven by healthcare facility closures and departmental relocations.
  • Understanding the RNs' perspective on displacement is crucial for effective support and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To qualitatively explore the human experience of change from the perspective of displaced registered nurses.
  • To identify key themes and challenges faced by RNs during job displacement.
  • To provide insights into the emotional and practical aspects of nursing personnel changes.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative study employing grounded theory methodology.
  • In-depth interviews were conducted with thirteen registered nurses.
  • Participants were employed at eight metropolitan New York healthcare agencies.

Main Results:

  • Five major themes emerged from the analysis: 'finding out' about displacement, 'weighing options' for the future, 'coping with negative emotions and loss', seeking and receiving 'support', and 'giving advice' to others.
  • Displacement involves significant emotional distress and a process of adaptation.
  • The experiences highlight the need for structured support systems during workforce transitions.

Conclusions:

  • The displacement of registered nurses is a complex human experience with profound emotional and practical implications.
  • Healthcare organizations must develop supportive strategies to manage nursing personnel changes effectively.
  • Further research is recommended to explore interventions that mitigate the negative impacts of displacement on nurses and the healthcare system.
