Abstract:
As nurse executives and managers struggle to decrease the costs of providing direct care to patients, the hidden expense related to staff turnover should be examined. The authors present a framework for identifying the needs of staff nurses related to preceptors, mentors, and sponsors, and suggest that meeting these needs may enhance retention and reduce the high costs of nurse turnover.
