摘要
New nurse retention and satisfaction has been a recurring topic of research and concern for nursing administrators and educators. As the nursing shortage continues to grow, the retention of new nurses becomes even more important. Most research has focused on why new nurses leave nursing. This article describes the experiences of six new nurses who chose to stay in their first nursing position for 2 years. The qualitative results suggest that even though they felt underprepared, the nurses persevered and remained resilient because of a culture of mutual support. The study participants suggested that individuals contemplating nursing as a career need to "enter with their eyes open," stay strong and "persevere," and foster a "culture of mutual support."
