How to increase nurse recruitment and retention
By: American Nurses Credentialing Center
Nurses seek organizations that promote their autonomy, respect their expertise, and include their voices in decision-making and innovative efforts. To attract and reward the very best in nursing talent, organizations must embody a collaborative culture, where nurses are valued as integral partners in patients’ safe passage through their health care experiences.
This culture is supported by steadfast investment in nursing education and development, ensuring that nurses are supported in their chosen career path. Interprofessional collaborative practice is nurtured, with a focus on mutual respect, autonomy, and shared values.
