Abstract
Healthcare organizations continue to have difficulties retaining healthcare staff. Administrations spend significant amounts of time and money to incentivize new nurses to join their organizations with mixed results for both acute and long-term care units. Preceptorship or mentorship has been identified as having an impact on increasing positivity and resilience in new nurses. This paper examined prior research to identify trends and patterns in findings regarding this topic. Research of databases was conducted to identify common topics regarding resilience and retention of new nurses. Data supported having preceptors who receive training in teaching methods, communication, and support of new nurses. Healthcare system management should recognize and reward successful preceptors and foster the use of their expertise to support new nurses. Preceptorship and mentorship can be seen as having a statistical impact on new nurse retention.
