Abstract
Millennial nurses are the largest cohort in the profession reporting burnout and compassion fatigue. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore and identify what connecting with patients means to millennial nurses. Eight themes emerged in the analysis of the data collected: The Void: Into the Darkness; Unconnected: Unable to Find the Light; Uncomfortable: Patients as Strangers; Art of Caring: Not a Priority; Becoming: Real RN; Fulfillment: Receiving through Giving; Enlightenment: Turning on the Light; and Guidance: Educational Needs. The themes shed light on the phenomenon of how millennial nurses connect with patients.
