Nurse Staffing at Methodist Heathcare Ministries: Factors Influencing Recruiting and Retention
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to recognize the salient factors nurses consider ill their employment decision-making process. The nurse assessment questionnaire represented a cross-sectional analysis. It was distributed electronically during January of 2007 to two populations, all nursing staff at MHM and nursing students at UTMSCSA. The research questions stated: What factors influence the recruiting and retention of a qualified nursing staff at Methodist Healthcare Ministries? Is there a relationship between specific factors and the likelihood of a nurse remaining until retirement? There were three dependent variables dealing with the nurses' plans to remain a nurse until retirement. There were numerous independent variables that were identified as the factors affecting recruiting and retention. Descriptive statistics summarized the results. A multiple linear regression was used to conduct the inferential analysis. There were no significant predictors associated with the nurses' plans toward retirement, but this analysis did outline some employee concerns and suggested some of the best methods to motivate the nursing staff.
