The purpose of this research was to explore why experienced RNs chose to exit the active practice of nursing. Ahermeneutic phenomenological design based upon Husserl’s (1965) phenomenology and Watson’s theory of human science and human care (1999) was used to explore the phenomenon of interest. Three essential structures and a synthesis of unity emerged from repeating and enduring patterns: “I loved it…this is what I want to do…,” suffering, and the exodus. The synthesis of unity was oppression. Implications for education and practice are integral; however, educators, administrators, and staff need to work together in creating a culture of caring.
