Abstract
Because of increasing RN turnover rates on a neuroscience unit in a large teaching hospital, unit nurse leaders created a staff retention quality improvement initiative. The initiative offered a structured pathway for professional development milestones in a nurse's 1st 18 months of employment. As a consequence of their work, the unit experienced an 82% decrease in the number of RNs who left their job on the unit in the 1st year of implementation.
