Description
Summary:Unless the nursing profession can manage to recruit and retain sufficient numbers of professional nurses, it might become impossible to render adequate health care to the citizens of South Africa. Many studies and much effort, have been directed towards the recruitment of nurses. Much less has been done to retain these nurses once they have entered the nursing world or to recruit non-practising nurses to re-enter the profession. This study aimed to contribute to knowledge about non-practising nurses and their educational needs, as well as to provide a data base for future studies.
