Abstract
“R etention is now a critical issue...as we risk losing nurses faster than we can train them.” This startling statement was made by Howard Catton, CEO of the International Council of Nurses (ICN), at the ICN International Workforce Forum in March 2019.1 Discussion at the ICN Forum recognized that the nursing shortage spans continents, necessitating an urgent global response. In the US, the nursing shortage continues to worsen, with a 17.2% turnover rate for RNs in 2018, tying with the 2015 rate as the highest in the last decade.2 Increasing RN job satisfaction and improving retention have become high-ranking strategic priorities for healthcare organizations everywhere.
