Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turnover is contributing to the nursing shortage with a global rate of 10-21% annually, and up to 30% of new nurses leave their positon within the first two years (Cowden and Cummings, 2012; Blake, Searle Leach, Robbins, Pike and Needleman, 2013). With numbers of vacancies estimated at 500,000 by 2025 and extreme costs to fill one vacancy, methods to recruit and retain nurses must be explored (Cowden and Cummings, 2012). The problem is multifaceted; young nurses are leaving the profession and experienced nurses are retiring or changing careers that provide healthy work environments. Using the 'Conceptual Model of Intent to Stay' increases the understanding of what influences nurses' commitment and guides leadership to implement strategies to improve nurse retention that will be multifaceted. It is time for administration and management to evaluate their practices as they relate to supervisor support of shared governances, staffing, workload, autonomy and recognition. Support of department managers and directors from organizational leadership allows creation of a healthy work environment that improves nurse retention.
