Description
Hilda Masamba, Liz Ryan, Tracey Tulleners, and Daniel Terry review, in a 2025 paper, what helps new nurses thrive and stay. Nursing faces a global shortage, and many nurses leave in their first five years, the span this review covers. The authors map the drivers that shape whether early-career nurses flourish, plan to stay, and remain in the field.
Five databases were searched for work from 1985 to 2025, and sixteen studies passed the screen. Three themes stood out: the work setting, the balance between work and life, and education. Differences between age generations added nuance to each theme. The authors conclude that employers can act on all three fronts, with settings that support growth and career steps. They call for more research to confirm the drivers and to test targeted support.
