The primary aim of this quantitative research study is to propose interventions and develop strategies that could be placed in place in healthcare services economies that have developed in reducing the turnover rates for nurses offering the same services. The authors attempt to improve the nursing shortages in primary care facilities. The research used different research database search engines such as Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus, and SCOPUS while also reviewing other evidenced literature sources. The results generated from the sources were systematically used to sought data. The study included reviews published between 1990-2025 and used the English Language. Seventeen studies were included in this research study, and inclusion criteria were met. Findings revealed that new graduate preceptorship and group cohesion would be improved through the nurse practitioner’s leadership role. Therefore, as a nurse practitioner, it is crucial to consider preceptorship for novice nurses and promote cohesion among the staff and the administrations. Nurse practitioners need to collaborate to reduce the mistakes and medical errors that their unfortunate outcomes lessen the quality of care and patient outcomes. The authors concluded that it is appropriate to address the nursing shortage such that a reduced nurse turnover rate improves the quality of care provided. Therefore, further research needs to focus on identifying interventions that would help increase nurses' accommodation into practice; however, despite the drawbacks associated with bias, the study provided worth using interventions in the facility to guide the management in addressing nurse shortages in hospitals.

The main reason authors conducted this quantitative research study is to dissect different literature sources to find the interventions appropriate for reducing worker turnover and the usefulness of the onboarding program execution improvement used in local hospitals with a bed capacity of 187 in Washington DC. The authors analyzed different data sources using an evidence-based approach, including exit survey data, research literature, industry exemplars, as well as evaluation of employee’s health data statistics. This study is helpful to nurse practitioners because it offers a pattern in the procurement of attendants in the health facility and turnover rate. Also, the study provides interventions that can be applied in reducing these rates. The exiting nurses negatively affect the remaining nurses who feel demoralized, and eventually, the performance of service delivery declines. The healthcare facility incurs the extra cost of hiring new employees. The study found out that turnover rates of employees would best be reduced by creating and implementing a 10-element onboarding program intervention and valuable support system. Therefore, these research findings are beneficial to a nurse practitioner because it is easier to identify different trends within the facility when these practical measures are put in place to reduce the turnover rate of nurses in health facilities. Hence, it is a wake-up call for nurse practitioners to take leadership positions to change and remove inhibiting factors possible to improve nurse turnover rates. It is essential to retain top talent in the organization because it is the pinnacle at which patient outcomes and satisfaction are achieved. It is the organization’s utmost plan to hire the right registered nurse to retain high-quality nurses, secondly, value the registered nurses, and lastly, groom that registered practitioner. Quality patient care and retainment of registered nurses are assured when health facilities implement these measures and reap long-term benefits.
