Abstract
Objective: The aims of this study were to estimate how intent to leave (ITL) differs between those with at least a baccalaureate preparation compared with those with less education and to determine how reasons for leaving differ between the 2 groups.
Background: Many baccalaureate-prepared nurses leave bedside roles early in their careers to take advantage of enhanced career options. An understudied area of inquiry in nursing turnover research relates to retention of nurses who wish to remain in nursing while pursuing advanced nursing roles.
Methods: Researchers analyzed career plans of 12 191 new graduate nurses to determine differences in ITL by level of initial nursing education.
Results: A higher percentage of baccalaureate- and master's-prepared new graduate nurses reported ITL within 3 years (P < 0.001), and their reasons for leaving were more focused on career enhancement.
Conclusions: Nurse executives may improve baccalaureate nurse retention by enhancing and communicating career pathways for new graduate nurses during nurse residency.
