Synopsis
The forecast doesn't look good.
A shortage of nurses continues to be a major problem.
Facilities like yours are shelling out high salaries and signing bonuses just to get RNs in the door. Unfortunately, that hasn't proven to be enough. Once you get quality nursing professionals in the door, you need to know how to keep them from walking out.
Staff in, staff out, staff in, staff out . . . Stop the revolving door from spinning!
The "revolving door" trend is discouraging, but even more than that it's dangerous. Inadequately staffed facilities run the risk of preventable errors, avoidable complications, and increased length of stay and readmissions. And, many states are considering nurse/patient ratio legislation.
A Practical Guide to Recruitment and Retention is a handy book that provides you with practical, field-tested strategies to attract and, more importantly, retain high-quality nursing and healthcare personnel.
Filled with timely, user-friendly ideas, concepts, and tools, A Practical Guide to Recruitment and Retention helps today's nurse managers and nurse executives make effective decisions related to recruitment and retention. From recruiting student nurses to confronting troublesome nurses who can cause turnover, this book covers it all.
Inside this must-have book you'll find:
- An in-depth look at youth recruitment
- Appropriate methods to recruit and retain every type of nurse
- Techniques for implementing quality work place improvements
- Ideas for recognition and reward programs
- Ways to embrace diversity in the healthcare workplace
- Numerous tools, templates, and procedures to adapt to your facility
