title: Points of view.
abstract: Dear Ken Last time I wrote my column, I discussed the problems of recruiting and retaining nurses. I have this idea that we wouldn't have to worry about recruiting nurses (despite demographic changes and the all-fired panic to create the support worker) if we actually tackled the reasons why nurses leave nursing in the first place.
