Abstract

Retaining nurses is critical. Doing so effectively requires identifying not only why some nurses are leaving but also why others are staying. Discovering a sense of belonging and opportunities for professional development, especially for early career nurses, are two common themes. A mentorship framework was created within a nurse residency program integrating both motives, with positive results for the mentors and mentees alike.
