Assessing work retention issues.
Within 6 months, a 10-member Nursing Services task force created and administered a literature-based retention survey. Tool development and administration is described. The 33-item tool was completed by 85% of the staff. Responses led to the formation of work groups, charged with addressing dissatisfiers and communicating implementation strategies to the hospital at large.
