Abstract:	This book describes key issues related to the dwindling nurse supply, most of the causes of which are well known, and outlines recent research and strategies to enhance the recruitment, education, and retention of the nursing workforce. It emphasizes the role of doctoral prepared nurses in health care policy development and illustrates how research findings can be utilized to generate evidence-based policies that support growth in the workforce. It fosters improvements in all nursing work environments to assure long-term retention. Contributors represent leading academic institutions, foundations, health policy groups including the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (US Dept of Health & Human Services), and nursing centers focusing on workforce research and policy.
