Abstract:
Although many articles address retention, few define the concept. There is a need for all health care organizations to adopt a standard definition in order to make accurate comparisons. This organization provides a definition of retention, measures pre-COVID and post-COVID retention, and uses psychometrically tested tools to measure the effectiveness of an accredited Nurse Residency Program. Characteristics of nurses who stay and nurses who leave are provided. Evidence-based retention strategies and opportunities for improvement are discussed, as all health care organizations and nurse leaders desire to have a return on their investment of enculturating newly licensed nurses.
