Background Newly graduated RNs leaving the nursing profession in the early stages of their career have enormous financial and time implications for nursing organizations and affect the quality of nursing care. Methods An electronic search was conducted for English articles to identify research studies published between 2011–2021 using the following database of PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus. Eligible publications were critically reviewed and scored using standardized critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute. Results Twenty-one studies were analyzed. The main factors affecting newly graduated registered nurses’ intention to leave the nursing profession included demographic factors, supervisor and peer support, challenges in the workplace, cognitive and affective response to work, work environment, gender stereotypes, autonomous motivation, role models, and resilience. Conclusions The factors affecting newly graduated registered nurses’ intention to leave the nursing profession are multifaceted and should receive continuous attention from nurse managers. The results provide a baseline of data for nurse administrators to develop intervention strategies to mitigate newly graduated registered nurses’ turnover intention. |
