Abstract
Turnover among nurses has been recognized as a frequent and enduring problem in healthcare worldwide. The widespread nursing shortage has reached the level of a healthcare crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the importance of understanding the contributing factors of nurse turnover, and more importantly how to mitigate the problem. Using cross-sectional survey data collected from 3370 newly licensed nurses working across 51 metropolitan areas within 35 U.S. states, we explore how role overload and work constraints can both diminish job satisfaction and increase turnover intentions of new nurses. Coworker support and work role centrality are identified as moderators of these relationships which show potential to mitigate these negative outcomes. This study highlights the importance of coworker support and work centrality in improving job satisfaction and subsequent turnover intentions among newly licensed nurses.
