| Nurses’ burnout matter is a big challenge in the health sector, which calls for immediate address (Panagioti, Geraghty, Johnson, Zhou, Panagopoulou, Chew-Graham & Esmail, 2018). |
| The main problem associates with nursing burnout, as revealed in the system review, relate to a poor working environment for health practitioners. |
| Panagioti et al. (2018), suggests that health facility leaders should invest more in creating favourable working environments, especially concerning the transition of nurses in their early career years. |
| Health leaders should focus more on improving institutions culture, such as support transition of low experience nurses and generally promote staff wellness. As a result, they will boost nursing students’ morale to work hard and remain at their specialization. |
| Nurses work in the frontline. They take care of patients before, and after physicians attend to them. Hence, their issues (burnout) should be addressed to avoid confusions or medication errors. |
| The nursing profession is a critical area in the health sector. The issue was identified through interviews with nurses/students after reporting increased medication errors, which reduced patient care quality. Besides, the issue targets the organization leaders since they have the power to solve the problem at hand. |
| Leaders should improve staff well-being as well as improve the working environment |
| Health managers should facilitate friendly interaction of all staffs regardless of diversity so that the more experienced staff can mentor the early-career practitioners (Panagioti et al. 2018) |
| The project will use technology to retrieve data such as recruitments records as well as electronically store the findings. |
| Workers’ diversity should be considered so that every person’s differences are respected, such as staff skills level. |
| The intervention should improve transition practices which in return will improve staff morale, and increases patients outcome. The measurable outcome will be reduced cases of medication errors |
| The finding will be published and use the technology to ensure it reaches the health leaders/managers in an effective and efficient manner |
| Economic and political factors are the main threat to the implementation of proposed changes. |
