2016 Long Term Care Nurse Staffing Study - Recruitment and Retention

recruitment and retention were asked between the 2014 and 2016 LTCNSS, direct comparisons between the proportions of facilities using each strategy are precluded. Additionally, the 2016 LTCNSS asked agencies to report the strategies for recruitment and retention separately and for full-time and part-time employees instead of reporting strategies for both recruitment and retention for all employees. However, a comparison of responses indicates that paid vacation days were the most frequently reported recruitment and retention strategy for full-time employees.
