This article looks at the way in which nurse leaders can positively impact on nurses’ intent to stay.
Nurse leaders can modify the way they interact with other nurses
to promote team building and cohesion. Nurse leaders can facilitate
positive changes within the organization and work environments,
such as promoting professional development, effective staffing ratios,
and a safe work environment. Nurse leaders can support nurses when
external events occur, such as having to act as caregivers for their own
families.
No nurse leader ever arrives; it is a constant process of learning
and developing. Nurse leaders should reflect on their actions,
decisions, and impact on others. Nurse leaders are
in a position to be the change agents for creating environments where
nurses want to stay.
