The nursing workforce is changing, and the clinical practice environment may need to change with it. Millennials, those born between 1980 and 1999, now make up the largest generational cohort in nursing (Hutchinson, Brown, & Longworth, 2012). Despite testing diverse interventions, such as preceptorships and nurse residency programs, new graduate nurse transition to the clinical practice environment remains difficult (Barnett, Minnick, & Norman, 2014). Hospitals have enhanced practice environments and modified leader behaviors, yet new graduate nurse retention remains a concern (Barnett et al., 2014; Cowden, Cummings, ProfetoMcGrath, 2011).The changing workforce requires a reconceptualization of positive new graduate nurse outcomes such that turnover and keeping the nurse at the bedside in a direct patient care role is no longer the primary focus. In addition, studies on new graduate nurse turnover must look beyond the first year of employment (Van Camp & Chappy, 2017). Career adaptability, the new graduate nurse's ability to cope with tasks, transitions, and traumas in their staff nurse role, may be a new and needed framework for promoting positive transition outcomes for both the nurse and the hospital (Savickas, 2013). The focus must also be on developing the new graduate nurse and supporting career trajectories within the hospital. As long as hospitals continue to focus on the negative outcome of turnover, they limit consideration of the broader outcome of career intentions. Work engagement, known to be related to retention, may also be related to career adaptability and career intentions of new graduate nurses (Kim et al., 2017).This change in perspective may be essential for retention of millennial new graduate nurses since they are seeking purpose and meaning in their work and are willing to change jobs to find it (Tyndall, Scott, Jones, & Cook, 2019). It may also increase work engagement and may help to develop a career trajectory within the hospital (Savikas & Porfeli, 2012; Tiadinyane & Van der Merwe, 2016). The purpose of this cross sectional descriptive correlational study was to explore the relationship among the variables of career adaptability, work engagement, and career intentions of new graduate nurses in the first 36 months of clinical practice and examine the influence of age, education, and years of clinical practice on levels of career adaptability and work engagement. This study provides critical insight into the new graduate nurse transition, provides nurse educators and hospital leaders with a better understanding of the challenges and experiences associated with this transition, and facilitates development of academic and practice environment strategies to retain new graduate nurses within hospitals.
