Abstract
Survey newly licensed nurses (NLNs) with respect to burnout, resilience, perception of the work environment, and intended short- and long-term job plans. NLN retention is a significant contributing factor to the nursing shortage. A 126-item survey measuring demographics, burnout, resilience, work environment, and job plans distributed via email, using Listservs to recruit nurses licensed for 5 years or less. Participants (N = 547) reported moderate burnout, specifically emotional exhaustion, and resilience. Overall scores on perception of the work environment were positive. Multiple logistic regression suggests odds of 1-year intended job flight are positively associated with emotional exhaustion (odds ratio [OR], 1.77; P < 0.001), resilience (OR, 1.07; P = 0.003) and non-White racial identity (OR, 2.99; P < 0.001) and negatively associated with staffing and resource adequacy (OR, 0.63; P = 0.038). Retaining NLNs requires mitigating burnout, addressing the experience of non-White NLNs in clinical practice, and improving support and resources for NLNs.
