TL;DR
The balance between the level of effort expended and reward received plays an important role in young nurses' intent to leave.
Abstract
Nurse Managers must offer Nexters, from the beginning of their career, a meaningful work and supportive environment. Without the efforts of the organization to improve the work environment and support nurses, this generation may not feel valued and move to another organization that will support them or another career that will offer fulfilment.
