In the news: Nursing pressures, mismatched expectations result in turnover
Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, August 3, 2009
Pressure from all directions and mismatched expectations seem to be the culprit for nurse turnover, reports Modern Healthcare. A new study, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and reported in the July/August issue of Nursing Outlook, found that more than 25% of new nursing graduates leave their first job within two years.
Nurses are unhappy because of pressure to perform their tasks faster and also reported that the jobs they had don't reflect their expectations developed in nursing school, according to Modern Healthcare. Researchers of the study said decreasing nurse-patient ratios and unit sizes could help increase nurse satisfaction.
Respondents also suggested nursing schools better prepare students by including eight-hour work days in clinical training and education programs to better learn to effectively communicate with physicians.
