In Brief A literature review was conducted to investigate the characteristics of new graduates and hospital environments that contribute to Generation Y new nurses' susceptibility to role stress and the characteristics of orientation programs that help them successfully overcome the phenomenon. Implications include deliberate preceptor pairings, presence of an advisor/mentor, and focus on professional development. These strategies may help improve retention of the Generation Y new graduate, reduce role stress, and foster empowerment. The authors conducted a literature search on Gen Y nurses' role stress and orientation programs that assist these new graduates to overcome this role stress.
