In a long-term study, the ZHAW School of Health Sciences examined the career trajectories of a cohort of nurses who graduated in 2011/12 in Switzerland. The project was part of the Competence Network Health Workforce CNHW, a cooperation between Universities of Applied Sciences in Health in Switzerland. Six years after graduation more than 600 nurses participated in the final survey, representing 38% of the 2011/12 cohort. The research highlights that the early years in a nursing career involve professional development and frequent job transitions. Potential retention measures include improving working conditions, addressing work-life balance issues, and increasing recognition.
