Nurse retention signals

Spot burnout risk before it becomes turnover.

A simple, research-grounded screen for nurse retention. Use a few practical signals to see where intent-to-leave risk may be building — and which factors to address first.

Educational tool only. No sign-up, no tracking, no EHR access required.

How it works

Four inputs. Clear drivers. Better retention conversations.

The calculator translates study findings into a quick read on the factors that appear to raise or lower intent-to-leave risk.

01

Screen the signal

Enter whether emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment are above or below the study median.

02

Add context

Layer in emergency-nursing experience and whether the nurse received a formal orientation.

03

Focus action

Use the output to identify the strongest risk drivers and the most practical protective factors.

Research basis

Built from published emergency-nursing turnover research.

This demo is based on burnout subscales, experience, and orientation patterns reported in Lee et al. The odds-ratio figures come from the adjusted model; orientation is treated as contextual, modifiable information. This is a starting point for discussion, not a standalone personnel decision tool.
