Abstract

Nationally, nurse turnover is 18.7%, and 24.1% of nurses leave their organization within a year of hire. Onboarding is a key component of a nurse's intent to stay and job satisfaction. This article describes the implementation and results of an onboarding program in a large intensive care unit.
