Work-related variables and turnover intention among registered nurses.

ABSTRACT

The hospital continues to be the largest employer of nurses and the institution most strained by the nursing shortage. In an era when nurses are more frequently opting to work in alternate settings, it is particularly important for the acute care institution to know what factors influence nurse turnover. Turnover intention, as measured by Pooyan, Eberhardt, and Szigeti, addresses this critical factor.
