Abstract

Global statistics have shown there is a major nursing shortage. It is imperative to stabilize the nursing workforce as the healthcare continuum continues to grow. Nurse career satisfaction is related to nurses' overall intent to stay. Newly licensed registered nurses are leaving healthcare settings at disturbing rates. With the increased need and the current shortages, the nursing profession is unequipped to meet the needs of the growing population. The purpose of this project is to increase nurse career satisfaction and intent to stay with the organization through the implementation of a nurse mentorship program for newly licensed registered nurses with less than one year of experience.
