title: The impact of AIDS on recruitment and retention in hospitals.
abstract: Little is reported about the impact of AIDS on the recruitment and retention of nurses in hospitals. The author reports a statewide survey of problems and strategies in recruiting and retaining nurses to care for AIDS patients. The major problems identified were fear of contagion, the need for strong educational training, and the complex care requirements of AIDS patients. Strategies for recruitment included financial incentives and intensive educational programs.
