| dc.description.abstract | Back ground: Nurses’ turnover is defined as resignation of a licensed nurse from a hospital due to various factors. However Nurses’ turnover from Emergency department can be nurses’ preference of working in other departments within the same hospital or totally to leave the hospital. Actual turnover is expected to increase as the intention increases. Emergency Department nurses are especially vulnerable to turnover because of their increased potential for developing burnout and compassion fatigue in which work environment has a great role.

Result: A total of 102 respondents were involved with a response rate of 91.1%. Among them, 46(45.1%) respondents had intention to leave the hospital. three significant predictors of nurses working in emergency departments ’ intention to leave their jobs: holding diploma rather than master (adjusted Odds ratio (OR) =4.700, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.033, 590.772; p<0.048), having Less than 3145 ETB monthly income more highly (adjusted OR=6.049, 95% CI=1.056,34.641; p<0.043) and professional autonomy (adjusted OR=0.191, 95% CI=0.040, 0.908; p<0.037).
