Abstract
This study sought to evaluate whether implementing a professional nurse advancement program correlates with a reduction in registered nurse turnover. Professional nurse advancement programs promote nurse professional development and engagement. Literature suggests a connection between engagement and retention. A retrospective cross-sectional cohort study was conducted using the organization’s human resources registered nurse employee data from 2022 and 2023. A statistically significant reduction in nurse turnover was found post-implementation compared to pre-implementation. The program influenced nurses' behaviors related to their professional development. The results suggest that the program has a strong influence on nurse retention.
