  • Title: An evidence-based protocol for nurse retention.
    Author: Gess E, Manojlovich M, Warner S.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 2008 Oct; 38(10):441-7. PubMed ID: 18849749.
    Abstract:
    Registered nurse turnover can drastically affect the quality of patient care while costing more than 1 billion dollars. The ongoing nursing shortage makes it hard to replace nurses, necessitating a novel approach to reduce nurse turnover. The authors discuss an evidence-based protocol that improves organizational commitment among nurses as a way to retain nurses through facilitating autonomy, improving communication, and offering recognition and rewards to nursing staff.
