title: Decreasing attrition rates across the generations through values alignment.
abstract: As evidenced by high attrition rates and a national nursing shortage, growing numbers of nurses are expressing dissatisfaction with their jobs. Employing institutions and schools of nursing must redefine the nursing profession to attract and retain nurses. Better placement of nurses into the subspecialty that best aligns with personal and professional values will help decrease the attrition rate by enhancing career satisfaction, increase motivation of employees, increase overall performance, and increase productivity.
