Webinar Description:

Today’s economy may have diminished the intensity of the “nursing shortage”, but the “shortage” still exists and will become more pronounced over the next decade as the “baby boomers’ age. Currently, nursing school faculty shortages are causing thousands of applicants to be turned away from the nursing profession. Besides the turnover savings, staff retention has also been shown to positively impact the recruitment of new staff, quality outcomes and patient satisfaction. Your staff is your most valuable asset and this has been proven true through the years with “word of mouth” still being the # 1 source for new staff.
