Key Points Question Why do emergency nurses not recommend their hospital to clinicians as a good place to work? Findings This qualitative study was a directed content analysis of 142 open-text responses from emergency nurses describing why they indicated “probably not” or “definitely not” to the survey question, “Would you recommend your place of employment as a good place to work?” Nurses reported insufficient staffing, nonresponsive unit administration, unsafe working conditions, workplace violence, and a sense of being undervalued as reasons for not recommending their workplace to clinicians. Meaning These findings provide opportunities for health care administrators to improve emergency departments for clinician retention.
