title: Proactive versus reactive recruitment and retention strategies.
abstract: With so many options available to nurses today, it is imperative to recognize the importance of not only recruiting but retaining nurses within the organization as well as the profession. This study identifies recruitment and retention strategies that nurses deem important. Although numerous responses were noted, continuing education was the most frequently cited benefit for recruitment and retention of nurses.
