title: Nurse recruitment and retention in long-term care.
abstract: The administrator and director of nursing are responsible for initiating and implementing a facility and nursing philosophy that will attract nurses to a career in the long-term care facility. Much of the "crisis" character of recruitment can be eliminated by a systematic, well-defined nurse recruitment program. A working atmosphere that allows an individual to make use of her intellectual and creative abilities and permits use of more of her total personality can attract and hold employees.
