“…In this study, the novice nurse cohort at the 3rd month after being employed was assumed to be the baseline and the rate of turnover was confirmed in each period of December 2003, June 2004, and March 2005. As a result, the turnover ratio in the 2 years was 12.7%, which was less than the turnover rate in 1 year in the USA: 24% (Marcum, 2004), 30% (Monarch, 1994), 66% (Rufo, 1987), and 70% (Squires, 2002). When we consider the factors for turnover, the factors such as “no support from peers” and being “dissatisfied with the workplace” strongly affect the turnover of novice nurses.…”

Aim: Novice nurses' rapid turnover is one of the big factors leading to the shortage of nurses. We identified the factors that affected the turnover of novice nurses in a 2 year study period. Methods:The subjects consisted of 1023 novice nurses at 20 university hospitals that gave consent to participate in the study. We began a cohort study in After conducting variable selection by stepwise analysis, an analysis using the Cox regression model found that the turnover risk was 1.6-fold higher in nurses lacking support from their peers, 2.2-fold higher in those nurses who were slightly dissatisfied with their job, and 3.2-fold higher in those nurses who were very dissatisfied with their job. When examining the characteristics of the nurses lacking support from their peers and of those dissatisfied with their job, both tended to burnout and lacked support from senior nurses or their supervisor. Conclusion: For novice nurses, having no support from their peers and being dissatisfied with their job strongly affect their turnover. As the support from senior nurses and their supervisor are important and there is a high possibility that burnout can affect turnover, the importance of preparing a good job environment for novice nurses has been suggested.

“…Studies not previously discussed in this review of the literature on transition programs but which also speak to this outcome variable were related by Holloran, Mishkin & Hanson (1980), Hollefreund, Mooney, Moore &Jersan (1981) andRufo (1984). It should be noted that in each case, the authors provide insufficient information by which to assess the rigor of their study design nor the validity and reliability of their findings.…”

Nursing internships are associated with recruitment and retention efforts of hospitals to gain new nursing employees. They are recognized as a benefit to new nursing staff and the hospital as well. Reported to bridge the gap and ease the transition to registered nurse, internships have been reported in the literature for over 30 years. But how effective are they? This article reviews the recent literature for evidence that internship programs improve recruitment and retention, have a positive cost benefit ratio, and ease the role transition of newly employed nurses.
