Attraction and Retention
of Professional Nurses

The hospital nursing shortage poses a serious threat to the health and welfare of this nation. Since sufficient numbers of professional nurses are essential if hospitalized patients and their families are to receive quality care, and since nurses provide 95 percent of the care that patients receive while hospitalized (AHA), these essential care needs will not be met unless hospitals can solve their own nursing shortages by helping to attract and retain competent and experienced nurses.

Studies show that nurses are attracted to Magnet hospitals because of a desire to work at a health care facility committed to excellence in nursing.
