title: Career coaches for nursing: a strategy for increasing your ROI.
abstract: Career Coaches for Nursing was created as an innovative program for the nursing staff at a large, expanding Midwestern tertiary health care organization. In the 2-year start-up period, the new program met challenges and identified many system-wide, as well as local issues for improvement. A decrease in turnover and the associated cost savings from improved employee retention provided a positive return on investment within the first 2 years of the program's existence.
