In the face of staffing shortages, retention is just as important as recruitment for CNOs. To truly build a resilient workforce, nurse leaders must focus on retaining nurses at every stage of their careers, from new graduate nurses contemplating life at the bedside to seasoned professionals nearing retirement and everyone in between.

This week is National Nurses Week, meant to celebrate the essential contributions that nurses make in communities worldwide. HealthLeaders is participating in the celebration with a week full of events, beginning with the next webinar in our The Winning Edge series.
