  • Title: Innovative retention strategies for nursing staff.
    Author: Hinshaw AS, Smeltzer CH, Atwood JR.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 1987 Jun; 17(6):8-16. PubMed ID: 3647116.
    Abstract:
    The creation of innovative retention strategies will be a major focus for nursing administration as a shortage of nurses recurs and turnover of staff becomes a problem. A recent study provides information on which to formulate retention strategies. The findings suggest that retention strategies, to be effective, need to be targeted specifically to particular conditions of the nursing staff, e.g., educational preparation and the clinical service on which staff are functioning. The authors outline their research findings and the innovative strategies that have been constructed.
