can we fix it?

nursing experts say underlying changes in the image and working conditions of rns are critical to addressing the shortage....

"you can recruit till the cows come home, and that's what we see nurse recruiters in hospitals doing. pull out all the stops, do the sign-on bonuses, basically bribe them in some way to get them in the door. but until you can stop the bleeding, they're coming in the front door and leaving out the back door," bozell said."
