New graduate nurses begin working in a health care system that has undergone massive restructuring since the 1990s. Limited resources and increased workloads have had a negative effect on retention of these nurses. In this highly demanding work environment new graduate nurses may be more inclined to leave. The goal of this descriptive correlational study was to examine the factors which influence the intentions of new graduate nurses in New Brunswick to stay in their positions. To this end, a survey was administered to a sample of 87 new graduate nurses in New Brunswick to examine the factors associated with the intention to leave their position. Results show that nurses’ intention to leave their position can be predicted by three factors : the vision of nursing science held by other nursing personnel, the new graduate nurses’ commitment to their employer, and new graduate nurses’ perception of their ability to influence decisions in the workplace.
