Abstract

Nursing staff retention is an important issue requiring intervention on all levels of hospital management. High nursing staff turnover has immense financial implication on health care organizations as training a novice nurse is more expensive than operating a hospital on experienced personnel. Nursing leadership is a pioneer of development and progression in health care organization. The leadership styles employed by the hospital nursing management have great implications over the nursing staff turnover and retention.
