The level of the role of mentor score was at a high level, organizational climate score was at a high level, and the intention to stay score was at a high level. The role of mentor nurse correlated positively and significantly with the intention to stay at a moderate level (r = 0.494, p < 0.001), organizational climate correlated positively and significantly with the intention to stay at a moderate level.
