A cross-sectional and descriptive correlational design was utilized.

Work fatigue was negatively correlated with intention to stay; the relationship between emotional exhaustion and intention to stay reached statistical significance. 4.The nurses’ intentions to stay varied by unit type; the nurses working in special units were most likely to remain in the present unit. 5.The factors influencing intention to stay varied by units.
