Retirement boom?
It may have gotten easier to fill your nurse vacancies the last couple of years, but like all good things, this, too, shall pass. A large percentage of RNs are reaching the age when they typically cut back their bedside hours or retire altogether. Your challenge is to encourage them to stay on the job, and a number of hospitals have found ways to help you do that.
