Assessment Of Work Environment And Nurse Engagement As Related To Recruitment And Retention In An Emergency Department
Finding new and innovative strategies to improve nurse retention is a focus of every nurse leader. Applying a Magnet® structural empowerment strategy by implementing Professional Governance has an impact on nurse retention by fostering nurses’ involvement in decision making and engaging their participation in the improvement of nursing standards and practices. The findings of thisproject demonstrated that if the hospital is not Magnet®designated, and if professional governance has not been implemented throughout the organization, a unit can still implement a Professional Governance council to improve retention and the professional practice nursing environment.
