The Center for Health Workforce Studies, with support from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, conducted a mixed methods study of New York hospitals to better understand issues related to persistent RN recruitment and retention challenges. The researchers identified the factors that contributed most to the problem and the most promising strategies to improve the recruitment and retention of patient care RNs, with a special emphasis on safety-net hospitals.
