Information available suggests that float nurses are independent, tough-minded, rule consciousness, socially bold, adaptable, autonomous, and reliable. These particular characteristics of float nurses may be explained by principles of emotional intelligence (EI). The purpose of this study was to identify aspects of float nurse emotional intelligence that could inform retention efforts. Secondary outcomes included highlighting floating best practice, recommendations for improving sense of community, and more clearly defining the float nurse role. 000007501 650__ $$aNursing$$023082 000007501 650__ $$aEmotional Intelligence$$038588 000007501 650__ $$aJob Satisfaction$$021115 000007501 6531_ $$afloat nurse 000007501 6531_ $$aappreciative inquiry 000007501 6531_ $$aemployee retention 000007501 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000007501 7001_ $$aAbbe, JacQualine R.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000007501 8564_ $$9553f8dd3-b65e-408a-83ff-3af7252f059c$$s1447409$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7501/files/abbe.jacqualine.2019.pdf 000007501 905__ $$a/rest/prod/wm/11/7p/66/wm117p66t 000007501 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7501$$pstudent-work 000007501 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
