Specialties Geriatric

Published

Have been in nursing for 30 years. Our particular region of the USA has a terrible shortage of nurses especially in Long Term Care. How can we recruit nurses to our area and help them realize that long term care is a very challenging and vitally important to a growing population??? Need Help !!!!

Hallelujah!! There must have been a revolution in LTC since Ive been gone, all these glowing posts, happy nurses, Im flabbergasted.:rolleyes:

Advertising is good. Our facility just opened a new alzheimer's wing & advertised on tv. My DON said that she has a stack of applications now.Make your place fun to work at, the job secure (people don't really want to change jobs) Our place hires "friends of friemds", family, etc; they all get along together.
Really, all kidding aside I am happy that there are some LTC's that are on the right track, I hope.:balloons:
