Shortage of nursing staff is growing issue and it is very true that by the year 2020, many nurses are retiring and there is a great need for healthcare organizations to come up with effective solutions. One study shows that many new graduate nurses find it very difficult to handle the stress associated with this profession and they exit the profession within the five years (Chachula, Myrick & Yonge, 2015). New graduate nurses require a lot of support from peers and mentors. Management and nursing leaders can support new nurses by providing extended orientation, interprofessional teamwork and manageable workloads (Chachula, Myrick & Yonge, 2015).
