, BENCHMARK – CAPSTONE PROJECT CHANGE PROPOSAL 2
Background
Nurse shortage has been a on going problem within the health care field and has become
a giant to many organizations. Studies have shown that there is more nurse leaving a place of
employment faster than hiring nurses in. There are many factors that play into the nurse shortage,
such as the aging population of nurses, not enough entry-level nursing schools, nurse turnover,
etc (RWJF, 2018). With that said, this paper will talk about nurse turnover rates within
organizations, and interventions to implement an outcome that will decrease the nurse turnover
rates.

The nursing home the author’s practice at find high nurse turnover rates to be a huge concern,

turnover in organizations is nurses are finding their job to be less satisfying as the days continue

to pass, and poor work environment continues to incline (Dotson, 2013). Many nurses reported

that their workloads were heavy, and their work environment lacked friendliness and warmth.
Among many nurses, teamwork was a highly talked about topic, because these nurses have stated

teamwork did not exist on the unit they worked on; nursing task and roles were not clearly

identified that made their ability to deliver quality care not easy (Omar, 2013).

Nurses also reported that the reason for their intentions to leave their previous place of
Th
employment was strictly due to poor quality management. Good leadership and management
come from management showing respect, honesty, and recognition to staff. Nurses have made
sh
known that they did not have the support on the floor from management with supplying them
with the resources needed, to perform their duty, moreover, management did not support nursing
autonomy (Dotson, 2013).
