Main Results:

Administrators highlighted retention efforts, including formal and informal support.
PMH-RNs reported concerns regarding safety, workplace challenges, and burnout.
Nursing students expressed interest in the specialty, valuing patient progress, but shared safety concerns and desired more interaction with PMH-RNs.

Conclusions:

Improving PMH-RN recruitment and retention necessitates increased student engagement with PMH-RNs.
Addressing PMH-RNs' concerns about management, staffing, and workplace safety is crucial to prevent burnout.
