The actual nursing shortage occurring in the health system is a crisis that impacts the health & well-being of the population. That is why it is important to learn & understand not only how to recruit new nurses but also how to keep them on the job. The article discussed above identified that even though nurses & nursing students coincided on the factors of vocation & altruism as an influence to their decision to enter the career, they differ on the factors influencing the decision to leave the career. Disillusionment with nursing was the highest factor for experienced nurses to leave, while for nursing students was another career beyond nursing. The evidence found in this research should contribute knowledge to the factors that need new retention strategies. It is important that administrators, government officials, & leaders of healthcare systems acknowledge these factors to improve nursing retention.
