  • Title: Rejuvenating orientation to increase nurse satisfaction and retention.
    Author: Mathews JJ, Nunley C.
    Journal: J Nurs Staff Dev; 1992; 8(4):159-64. PubMed ID: 1517862.
    Abstract:
    The current nursing shortage has forced nursing managers to examine the reasons for nurse turnover and to evaluate institutional programs and policies that may strengthen staff nurse retention. For the past two decades, the nursing profession has concluded that nurse retention is linked to job satisfaction. Accordingly, employers have attempted to improve job satisfaction by permitting self-scheduling, nurse selection of unit assignment, and bonus pay for less desirable shifts. In spite of these and other efforts designed to retain nurses, the turnover rate generally has remained high.
