title: One more time--solutions to the nursing shortage.
abstract: The shortage of registered nurses continues nationwide. Reviewing factors that contribute to the recurring crisis, the authors recommend short- and long-term solutions, which focus on retention as more effective and less expensive than recruitment. The authors also discuss the complex issues of employing agency RNs and recruiting of foreign-educated RNs.
