Recruitment and Retention a Personal Issue

Abstract

Recruitment and retention has always been seen to be the sole remit of managers--that was never the case but now it has to be seen as the remit of everybody working in the operating department. The role of perioperative nurse is interesting and challenging--a truly exciting role which, used as a marketing tool, can sell itself.

Trust in management and its relation to job satisfaction and intentions to remain for northern British Columbia nurses.

“…Zboril-Benson (2002), Greenglass & Burke (2001), Crose (1999), Wicker (1999) and Armstrong-Stassen, Cameron & Horsburgh, (1996) note that nurses want control over their working condi tions; they want to be able to decide appropriate nurse to patient ratios, how many RNs are needed and what they require, by way of equipment and supplies, to deliver safe, quality care. Greenglass and Burke (2001) discuss the idea that many nurses feel there has been a deterioration in their working conditions and that the deteriora tion is mainly due to restructuring within the hospitals and the health care system.…”
