Leadership and Management of Nursing Shortage and Nurse Turn-Over
Several research scholars have stressed the significance of effective healthcare leadership, and leadership by nurses is critical to this, since nurses constitute the largest healthcare worker group. For more effective nurse recruitment, hospital leadership should support the profession of nursing. It is vital for them to recognize their most capable nurse managers and nurses, and place them within communities for attracting individuals possessing similar traits into the profession. Furthermore, hospital leaders must team up with colleges/universities and secondary schools for picking out students who possess the traits needed for thriving despite challenges accompanying slow improvements to the healthcare sector.

Fresh nursing graduates have to begin at top speed (i.e., try to seize opportunities immediately), without proper support, and the stress linked to transition may bring about high turnover of new recruits in the first couple of years in practice. While healthcare organizations allocate considerable resources and time on nurse training, recruitment, and orientation, fresh graduates constitute over 50% of the turnover of some hospitals. One means of coping with this issue is implementing nurse internship or nurse residency programs, which train nursing students to work in real-world practice settings, before graduating from nursing courses. The programs aid fresh graduates in transitioning to become professional registered nurses (RNs), offer...

Healthcare We can compare the healthcare workplace to what is seen by a person when he/she looks through a kaleidoscope: since there are numerous different patterns that appear as the moments pass by.

The dependence of healthcare institutions on the nurse-managers for the retention and
