Abstract
Objective: This study investigated links between incivility and intention to leave (ITL) employment among new graduate nurses (NGNs) during residency. Background: As an undesirable characteristic of workplace environments, incivility may predispose inexperienced nurses to leave employment. Methods: Surveys of NGN residents conducted 6 months after hire from 2022 through 2024 were analyzed. Results: Incivility from physicians and unit leaders significantly increased ITL scores but did not predict termination within 2 years. Long-term retention was related to having positive role models and satisfaction with work schedules Conclusions: Fostering supportive leadership and cultivating strong role models could improve retention and reduce early career distress among NGNs.
