Nurse managers (NMs) play a pivotal role within healthcare organizations, serving as the cornerstone between administrative directives and frontline patient care. Considerable research on direct care nurse retention has been conducted in recent years; however, there has been limited focus on NM support, job satisfaction, and the impact on NM retention. As part of the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) matching program, a DNP project was formulated in collaboration with the American Nurses Credentialing Center to address this gap.

Results of the project were synthesized to begin the development of a toolkit that designed to help nurse executives improve NM retention and satisfaction.
