Objective:
To examine new graduate nurses' (NGNs') 1st job experiences through the lens of social capital.
Background:
Understanding NGN experiences and how those experiences impact their decision to accept a position and stay is essential to recruitment and retention amid critical nursing shortages.
Methods:
Quantitative secondary analysis was conducted using the membership survey data of the National Student Nurses' Association.
Results:
New nurses who reported higher levels of social capital and a healthier, happier work environment were more likely to plan to stay in their current positions longer. Key factors influencing their decision to accept a position included opportunities for professional development, supportive management, and work-life balance.
Conclusions:
Understanding the social capital approach to recruitment and retention can aid hospital and healthcare system administrators in developing new strategies to attract and retain nurse.
