Abstract	The research study on nurse retention stems from the need to address workplace challenges such as high nurse turnover, high nurse-to-patient ratios, limited financial incentives, and the migration of skilled nurses abroad, which are prevalent in both private and public hospitals. The purpose of this study is to identify and understand why nurses choose to stay and assess the level of influence, the level of job satisfaction and the level of retention on organizational culture, hospital engagement, financial rewards, and career advancement opportunities. Random Sampling Technique was adopted with an ideal sample size of two hundred and three (203) respondents who completed the 4-point Likert Rating Scale questionnaire. The study highlights that nurses thrive when pride, teamwork, a supportive work culture, and career growth opportunities intersect. The study recommends strategies including skill-based pay allowances, shuttle services, communication training, staffing high-demand wards, and on-site wellness spaces that can enhance nurse engagement and promote well-being among healthcare staff.
