Strategies for Managing the Shortages of Registered Nurses

Peterson, Jody-Kay McFarlane 01 January 2017 (has links)
The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies that healthcare facility leaders in Central Minnesota use to recruit and retain qualified nurses. Participants were 6 healthcare facility leaders including 2 nursing directors, 2 human resource personnel, 1 nurse supervisor/administrator, and 1 nurse recruiter who had the knowledge and experience in recruitment and retention of Registered Nurses (RNs) in healthcare facilities in Central Minnesota. The Herzberg 2-factor theory was the conceptual framework. Semistructured interviews were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Morse's 4 steps data analysis process. The major themes were recruitment strategies and retention incentives. The recruitment strategies were the various hiring methods participants used to attract and gain RNs, and the retention incentives were the benefits that motivated and retained RNs. Participants relied on both recruitment strategies and retention incentives to manage the shortages of RNs. The results provide healthcare facility leaders with additional information about how to successfully recruit and retain qualified RNs, which may lead to a larger and potentially satisfied nursing population. Social implications include strengthening the nursing workforce, increasing productivity for healthcare facilities, providing better customer service and increased patient satisfaction, and contributing to more satisfied RNs and families, as well as helping the local communities and the economy.
