Abstract
By 2009 the nursing shortage will reach a critical level with home care agencies seriously affected. Hospitals have begun to embrace one proven method for recruiting and retaining nurses: achieving magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Although magnet recognition has been available to home health agencies since 2000, no agency has applied. This article outlines how agencies can take advantage of the program.Keywords
