Current research about frontline nurse stress and turnover intention lacks context related to rural communities' plight in providing organizational resources during the current COVID-19 pandemic. These implications have been particularly underexamined in the United States, whose regional differences may influence how frontline nurses perceive the access and utility of organizational resources. This study investigates if anxiety and stress while working during the current COVID-19 pandemic contribute to frontline nurses' desire to leave their current position in Alabama hospital settings.
