  • Title: Retention technique #2. Closing critical care beds.
    Author: Allman C.
    Journal: Dimens Crit Care Nurs; 1989; 8(1):38-43. PubMed ID: 2920658.
    Abstract:
    The key to nursing retention is to be sensitive to the pressures and demands placed on staff nurses who want to provide and take pride in giving quality patient care. If an institution has many critical care nursing vacancies, it is important to avoid pushing the remaining nurses beyond human limits. It may even be necessary to close beds to keep the remaining nurses, rather than allow the stress of the nursing shortage to cause them to resign too.
