Background:
The Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has intensified turnover challenges among newly-licensed registered nurses (NLRNs), posing financial and sustainability issues for healthcare systems.
Purpose:
This study examines NLRN workforce trends, characteristics, and turnover factors using data from the 2022 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN), comparing findings with 2018 data to observe post-pandemic shifts.
Methods:
A secondary analysis was performed on a weighted subset of NLRNs from the 2022 and 2018 NSSRN data. Demographic, educational, and employment variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics and confidence intervals, and turnover predictors were assessed through logistic regression models.
Discussion:
NLRN turnover intent remains high, driven by burnout, suggesting a need for broader systemic strategies to improve work environments and nurse retention.
Conclusion:
Addressing NLRN turnover requires systemic strategies focused on mitigating burnout and addressing work environment issues through robust transition to practice programs, supporting workforce stability in a post-pandemic context.
