Increasing Reserve Component Nurse Accession and Retention Rates.

Abstract

The Defense Department's recruiting of nurses for the reserve components has been successful: the number of nurses in the Selected Reserve alone rose 68 percent between 1982 and 1988. But by taking several specific recruiting actions, reserve military nurse accession rates be improved: Fill all Selected Reserve nursing positions with 5 years. Establish standard exit briefings for military nurses in the active duty. Enforce exit interview requirements and follow each discharged military nurse by notifying the reserve recruiting staff (all reserve components) in the nurse's new residence area. Increase recruiting efforts directed toward nursing groups that have shown a special attraction to reserve nursing. (emk)
