A hospital is an acute care short-term stay and emergency medical center that also includes medical 
departments such as, surgical, obstetrics, infectious disease, radiology, laboratory and mental health.
How would you determine which skills, certifications, and licensur
e would be effective in retaining the 
current nurses?
Is there a direct correlation between additional skills and retention and motivation of the nurses?
How would you determine who would be provided the skills development? Are all skills for all nurses

summoned to an executive team meeting in an effort determine why an unusual number of nursing staff 
leaving for other employment. During the discussions, the Director of Nursing provides her thoughts re

garding why the nurses may be less productive and why some are departing. She states that the primary 
reason is salaries/benefits. A charge nurse thinks the reason might be working conditions, especially 
involving patient load in the various nursing units. Overall morale is low
, which is adversely affecting pro

ductivity. This has also resulted in some patient quality outcomes discovered by the Continuous Quality 
Improvement team.

conditions, specifically in the area of learning new skills, obtaining additional certifications, licensure, and 
cross-training for other areas not usually assigned. She feels that these measures result in higher reten

tion and patient quality outcomes.
After the meeting, you meet with the Director of Nursing and Human Resources Director, who is also in 
charge of all training and development for the hospital. As the administrator
, you consider developing 
a small group to explore the feasibility of providing more skills development and training to your current 
nursing staff. Before implementing this directive, consider the following:
