Overview
While much of the responsibility for nurse retention has been placed on the administration hierarchy, nurses themselves must take an active role in understanding why colleagues choose to remain in their jobs. Nurses must also actively help develop a work environment that promotes retention of nurse colleagues. It is well known that workload, scheduling flexibility, compensation, access to continuing education, and opportunities for career growth influence nurse retention, but nurses play a vital role in developing and implementing strategies that create an engaging and rewarding work culture. New nurse graduates and mature nurses require special retention strategies to meet specific needs, but the majority of nurse retention efforts are shared mutually among nurses and administration to develop and maintain a work culture that promotes overall nurse retention.
