Background: : The current COVID 19 pandemic brings into sharp focus the global necessity of having sufficient numbers of nurses and the dire impacts of nursing shortages throughout health systems in many countries. In 2020 retaining skilled experienced nurses continues to be a major global challenge. The dominant and consistent concentration of workforce research to date has focused on attitudinal factors including job satisfaction and burnout and there is limited research on how organisational commitment in combination with job satisfaction and burnout may explain what keeps nurses in nursing. Objectives: : To measure how organisational commitment in combination with job satisfaction and burnout relate to the intention of Registered General Nurses\' staying in nursing (ITSN). Design & Methods: : A quantitative descriptive design using a cross-sectional survey was utilised. A national postal survey of a representative sample of registered general nurses employed within the Republic of Ireland (ROI) health services was undertaken in 2010. A number of established valid and reliable instruments were used to measure attitudinal factors and their relationship with intention to stay (ITSN). Data were analysed using IBM SPSS version 24.0 and descriptive, correlational and multiple regression analysis were undertaken. Results: : A total of 756 registered nurses participated in this study. The strongest predictor of intention to stay in nursing was organisational commitment (ß=.32, p=.000) while burnout and job satisfaction had a significant relationship with ITSN. Conclusion: : Results reveal the complex and multidimensional nature of ITSN with the majority of nurses having a strong intention to stay in nursing. Organisational commitment and low burnout represented predictors which are influential in nurses remaining in nursing throughout their career lifespan. These results remain relevant in 2020 particularly in light of the ongoing pandemic when retention and recruitment of skilled and experienced nurses to the workforce will be critical to the management of health care, considering the increased nurse vacancy rates in many countries and the evident lack of resolution of the issues raised from this study.
