Title: Ageism within the nursing workforce and the role of nurse leaders
Abstract: Ageism can negatively affect individuals' physical and mental well-being and lead to workers electing for early retirement. Generational differences among nurses impact the perception and effects of ageism within their workplace. The article discusses ageism and other manifestations of age-related discrimination among nurses, and explores strategies for nurse leaders to ensure the retention, support, and acknowledgment of older, experienced nurses. © 2025 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
