In Maine, nurses are a crucial element of every healthcare system, but employers are struggling to reduce the turnover intention of their nurses. Like many other jobs, there are a wide variety of determinants that impact nurses’ decision to leave their positions at their organizations. This study examines the most significant reasons that nurses would choose to leave their positions and the timeframe in which they would choose to do so. Through a self-designed study, data regarding a nurse's self-selected reasons to leave their roles and their timelines for such a decision was provided by the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses. According to the data, certain reasons to leave are noted by Maine nurses more often than others, but over different timelines, there are few reasons to leave that impact the turnover intention of Maine nurses to a significant level.
