Approximately 38 percent of the respondents reported having left a CNO position-13 percent within two years before the survey and 25 percent within five years before the survey. Of these, approximately one-quarter had been asked to resign, had been terminated, or had lost their jobs involuntarily. When asked about the context of their departure, a high percentage reported leaving their position to pursue another CNO position (50 percent) or for career advancement (30 percent); approximately 26 percent reported leaving because of conflicts with the chief executive officer. Of great concern is the finding that approximately 62 percent of respondents anticipate making a job change in less than five years, slightly more than one-quarter for retirement.

Respondents clearly indicated that CNO turnover is a problem that requires attention. The knowledge gained from this study can be used by healthcare leaders to develop strategies and policies aimed at recruiting and retaining CNOs and easing the transition for CNOs and others in the organization when CNO turnover does occur.

I would love to here from acutual CNO's of VP's of Nursing to get the reality of what is happening in the future of nursing and the challenges they are currently facing
