Rationale 1: While finding a replacement for the nurse is important, it is not the primary concern.
Rationale 2: An exit interview is important, but is not the manager's primary concern.
Rationale 3: The manager may feel defeated by losing this nurse, but this is not the primary concern.
Rationale 4: This nurse is gone, so the manager's next task it to decrease the impact of the hospital grapevine. This informal, but powerful, information superhighway can spread inaccurate and inflammatory information rapidly and could influence other nurses to leave.
