Abstract
Nurses from five generations consistently represent the current workforce. The different characteristics of a multigenerational nursing workforce can impact communication and the development of respect. According to the Randstad Workmonitor survey, one of the most common challenges among multiple generations is communication. In a small rural hospital in the southeastern United States, nurses are experiencing a loss of vital information during patient handoffs and transitions, which complicates the existing issues of poor retention rates and incivility. Additionally, there is a lack of professional respect regarding nursing knowledge and clinical judgment among the workforce.
