30-second retention screen

Intent-to-leave risk check.

Answer four questions to see which published burnout and work-history signals may be raising risk — and which protective factors are present.

Emotional exhaustion

Feeling drained, depleted, or unable to recover from work.

Personal accomplishment

Sense of meaning, competence, and effectiveness in the role.

Emergency-nursing experience

Years working in emergency nursing.

Formal orientation

Structured onboarding into the emergency-department role.

Research basis

What this calculator does — and does not do.

This is a simplified educational screen based on Lee et al.’s emergency-nursing intent-to-leave study. It maps your selections to published risk and protective signals, including emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, experience, and formal orientation.

It is not a diagnosis, a resignation prediction, or a standalone personnel decision tool. Use it as a prompt for retention planning, workload review, onboarding improvement, and follow-up conversations.
