PALTC Steps Up Strategies to Attract Nurses

Enrollment in nursing schools is up as more people — men and women alike — see this as an exciting field where they can have a rewarding career and job security. However, while nursing schools are attracting more students, too few of their graduates are choosing to practice in post-acute and long-term care (PALTC). As a result, a perfect storm i s brewing: a rapidly growing over-65 population, a large number of nurses nearing retirement age, and not enough students choosing this specialty. PALTC communities and their team leaders are scrambling to find creative ways to attract more nurses.
