abstract
The nursing shortage across the United States has become a prominent and serious issue facing today’s healthcare system. Nursing schools have been forced to handle a high demand of students seeking a nursing education to secure the very foundation of patient care. Nevertheless, while many nursing students are graduating each year, many new graduates are quickly leaving the field due to overwhelming patient loads and the stressors of being an inexperienced nurse. My project is an investigation of experiences of nurses who have recently graduated from nursing school and have entered the nursing work force independently for the first time. By providing new graduates with a thorough orientation and a continued support system, new graduate nurses obtain greater job satisfaction and self worth in their profession. My presentation offers recommendations for new graduate nurses seeking employment and their employers on how to develop a professional working collaboration to improve the retention rates among this population. note
