Recruiting and retaining registered nurses in home healthcare.
This study examined a personal and professional profile of registered nurses in home care to determine the most influential factors affecting their recruitment, job satisfaction, and retention. With the cooperation of a national, for-profit home healthcare organization in 1990, the authors randomly surveyed its registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and home health aides in two Midwestern states. Findings for 107 home care registered nurses are presented and compared with responses of licensed practical nurses and home health aides.
