title: The nursing shortage and potential solutions: an overview.
abstract: Successfully solving the nephrology nursing shortage will require multiple strategies on national and local levels. Retaining current nephrology nurses is a key strategy. In addition, we, as a specialty, must help recruit people into nursing, and recruit student nurses and graduate nurses into the field of nephrology nursing. This article will describe the national nursing shortage and discuss how to create work environments that promote retention and satisfaction.
