Abstract
Nursing retention is critical for health care organization success. Reasons for nurses
exiting their current organizations include access to professional growth explicitly
aligned with the individual nurse’s purpose. One health care system sought to address
this need with the creation of the nurse career coach (NCC) to support nurses in exploring
roles that align with their individual passion and purpose. Through the coaching process,
professional growth, nurse retention, and empowerment of nurses have been experienced
as a result. Our evaluation revealed a 96% retention rate. The article details NCC
design, implementation, and evaluation, including factors describing spread, sustainability,
and scale.
