Article Abstract

Transition into practice is plagued by personal, work, and patient-related stress leading to burnout and turnover of newly licensed nurses. Leaders must recognize transition shock and moral distress and act immediately. Nursing professional development practitioners at a healthcare organization in Illinois developed the "Flight Risk" Program to recognize, address, and escalate turnover risks as a leadership team. This resulted in retaining 47% of identified "flight risks" and contributed over $3.9 million in cost avoidance.
