  • Title: Nurse extenders offer a way to trim staff expenses.
    Author: Eastaugh SR, Regan-Donovan M.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1990 Apr; 44(4):58-60, 62. PubMed ID: 10145236.
    Abstract:
    Troubles confronting hospital nursing--from a national shortage of nurses to low morale, high turnover, and rising costs of replacing and retaining staff members--require creative approaches and a rethinking of traditional primary care nursing. Nurse extender programs place non-nursing tasks in the hands of technicians trained to deliver meals, transport patients, take vital signs, and perform other patient care tasks.
