Financial incentives were ranked as the number one factor that would influence retiring nurses to stay in nursing. However, the following six highest rated factors revolve around job flexibility, and include flexible hours, fully remote positions, part-time work, flexible shift lengths, hybrid work consisting of both on-site and virtual shifts, and flexible start times. These findings strongly suggest that flexible job options that allow nurses to exert more control over their schedules and work settings are one key to enhancing nurse retention.
