  • Title: The nurse shortage. A home care agency perspective.
    Author: Ellenbecker CH, Cushman MJ.
    Journal: Caring; 2001 Jul; 20(7):28-32. PubMed ID: 11436461.
    Abstract:
    Certified home care agencies are challenged to meet an increasing demand for services while faced with a predicted severe nursing shortage. Meeting this demand will depend on an agency's ability to recruit and retain a qualified nursing staff. Knowledge of the extent of the nursing shortage, along with information of administrators' perceptions of the problem and activities they have implemented to alleviate a shortage will provide information to meet this new challenge.
