Abstract:
The desire for career advancement has been identified as a cause of nurse turnover. In order to prevent nurses wanting to advance in their career from leaving the organization, a program was developed to transition nurses from pediatric acute and intermediate care to the intensive care unit. The intervention included classroom training, social support, and a formal orientation. Turnover rates are lower for participants in the program, and transitions to the intensive care unit have been successful.
