Administrators' attitudes toward hiring disabled nurses.
An accessible but previously untapped market for staff is disabled registered nurses. The authors report the results of a survey sent to nursing home and hospital administrators assessing their attitudes toward hiring disabled RNs. The differences between nurse administrators and non-nurse administrators were significant. The authors suggest strategies to incorporate disabled nurses into the work force.
