title: Targeting recruitment efforts for increased retention.
abstract: Recruitment efforts can be targeted towards Registered Nurses demonstrating specific sociometric, education, and practice variables. The authors describe the significant differences found in the comparative analysis within three sets of variables among two groups of hospital-employed Registered Nurses who reside in the suburbs of Chicago. These data can direct nursing administrators in strategic recruitment and retention marketing plans.
