A Qualitative Descriptive Study of Nurse Manager Decision-Making Associated With RN Hiring.

Objective: To explore the practices and self-confidence of nurse manager (NM) decision-making related to evaluating RN hiring needs.

Background: Evidence-based hiring strategies to sustain workforce stability were identified as a gap in the literature. Locally, inconsistencies in the method that NMs use to determine how many RNs to hire and at what frequency to hire them were observed, posing a threat to strategic workforce planning.

Evaluation of a proactive hiring model to achieve workforce stability in the intensive care unit.

Aim: The purpose was to evaluate an innovative Prospective Hiring Equation to determine registered nurse hiring needs.

Background: The American Organization for Nursing Leadership identifies human resource management as a competency for nurse managers, yet calculations to determine when and how many registered nurses to hire are not readily available.

Methods: We implemented an educational intervention to teach nurse mangers the Prospective Hiring Equation.

The Power of Two:: One Academic-Practice Partnership's Response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Academic-practice partnerships are necessary for strengthening nursing practice, robust and relevant academic programs, and advancing health care. The purpose of this paper is to describe how a strong academic-practice partnership shaped our response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. During this unprecedented time, existing relationships between the health system and school of nursing were quickly leveraged to provide mutually beneficial relief, opportunities, and support.
