Retention, competency, job satisfaction, and lateral violence are issues facing the nursing workforce, especially newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs). The United States is facing a nursing shortage; therefore it is important to develop strategies to retain qualified registered nurses (RNs). The Master of Science in Nursing/Clinical Nurse Leader (MSN/CNL) student team conducted a literature review on how to address these issues. A mentorship program is the proposed intervention to assist novice nurses during their transition into the nursing role.
