title: Nurse executive job loss: trauma or transition.
abstract: Since the enactment of TEFRA, the health care industry has initiated cost-cutting measures that have resulted in increased job vulnerability for all levels of health care managers. Research on managers and professionals suggests that there are categories of factors that moderate the stress of job loss such that career growth can occur. Interviews with 10 nurse executives who had experienced involuntary turnover suggest a variety of coping strategies that can help to turn job loss into a successful career transition.
