Homes are an enduring statement of individuality and affability conveyed in the highest form of built expression. Elsternwick House is an exemplar of this with its quirky interplay of old and new. This whimsical renovation project and live-in art gallery is a curated space, displaying the personalities of its inhabitants through the artworks found adorning the homes many walls.
The project, a collaboration between Matt Gibson Architecture + Design and Mim Design, was a poorly sited period home with a south facing 1980’s extension. Landscape design firm, Ben Scott Garden Design also worked alongside the creative team to ensure the cohesive design thread extended out to the garden.
Hinting that modernism lies beyond, the salon set in the existing portion of the home, reflects old Edwardian entrance rooms.
Purpose designed to exhibit the family’s love of art and sculpture, the creative design team have achieved an inspiring cohesiveness, telling the transitional story of the buildings past form to its new.
Jutting from its humble exterior a zinc extension forms the new garage and guest bedroom, complimented by sleek modern landscaping.
A series of minimalistic living spaces are entered through metal lined openings, paying respect to the homes original footprint. Suspended above is an “origami” ceiling resembling crumbled paper. The ceiling connects contemporary black paneling to existing red brick, blurring the lines between the buildings two lives and melding the residence into a coherent form. “The white faceted planes of the ceiling reference the highly picturesque roof forms of the surrounding Edwardian villas,” says architect Matt Gibson.
A concrete fireplace provides separation between living areas, complimenting the architectural proportion of the space while clean lines are found within furnishings such as the Tree Table designed by Jacob Plejdrup for DK3 juxtaposed against the suspended Aim light by Flos that hangs above it. “Throughout the home are many custom-designed features including light fittings, mirrors and joinery” explains Mim Design director, Miriam Fanning.

I have to admit that I have a bit of a culinary crush on Alton Brown. I love watching his show, “Good Eats” and the other night we were watching his show about his diet and he shared a protein sandwich that sounded interesting. While it does include sardines (which I had never eaten before) It also includes an avocado which I’ve been trying to get Dan to eat. Plus Alton Brown mentioned that Sardines had some good properties to help you lose weight.
We both tried this with trepidation but were pleasantly surprised, It didn’t taste all that fishy, but was actually really flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone feeling adventurous.
Drain the oil from the sardine cans into a bowls.
Brush some olive oil onto the pieces of bread. Then place the bread under the broiler.
Take the other bowl and mix with the red wine vinegar and add the sardines. Set aside for about 15 minutes.
Split the avocado in two and discard the seed. Take a fork and mash the meat of half of the avocado. When the bread is browned, take the avocado and separate evenly across the bread. Then separate the sardines evenly and mash into the avocado on the bread.

When I was in high school I used to watch the Carl Sagan series 'Cosmos', and was fascinated by how he used to bring physics to life. I even remember the episode where he describes the physical consequences of the natural constants being closer to real life (suppose the speed of light was 50 mph, etc).
Ever since then, I've looked for expositors who could extract the same kind of beauty out of mathematics and computer science, distilling its essence in a way that might seem obvious to those of us who practice it, but that allows the core concepts to be revealed to a non-technical audience in a way that captures the imagination.
Timothy Gowers, the Fields Medalist, is well known for his expository articles on a variety of topics. He gave a speech in 2000 in Paris at an event sponsored by the Clay Mathematics Institute. The speech was titled 'The Importance of Mathematics', and I highly encourage watching it.
What struck me the most about this lecture was his eloquent defense of mathematics, and how he conveyed a sense of the aesthetic beauty of the field (why mathematicians refer to a theorem as 'beautiful'). With beautiful examples, he systematically laid out the landscape of a mathematical life, not in terms of topics, but in terms of how mathematical work is done.
(2) A typical mathematician does not try to be useful.
arguing that (1) is false even though (2) is usually true, and that it should be this way.
Mathematics is surprisingly useful, because complexity arises from simplicity and beauty reveals itself to be important.
I just bought his book 'Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction', which brings out these ideas in much more detail, and also puts to rest some of the usual canards associated with mathematics (the 30yr old rule, the lack of women, etc).
To some degree, the description of the daily activities of an algorithms researcher are similar to that of a mathematician, but in many ways they are different. We need a similar exposition for theoryCS !

SuperDARN PIs Drs. Kathryn McWilliams and J.-P. St. Maurice have announced that the Radio Receiver Instrument (RRI) carried by the CASSIOPE satellite has detected signals from the Saskatoon SuperDARN HF radar. The RRI is a component of the Canadian e-POP mission and is designed to receive SuperDARN pulses. The data have been analyzed by Dr. Rob Gillies of the University of Calgary and plotted to show that they reproduce the familiar radar multipulse sequence.
CASSIOPE is a small satellite from the Canadian Space Agency. It was launched on 29 Sept 2013 by SpaceX on their experimental Falcon 9 launch vehicle. E-PoP is the scientific payload and consists of eight space instruments including the RRI. The e-PoP Mission Scientist and Project Leader is Dr. Andrew Yau of the University of Calgary. Dr. Gordon James of the Communications Research Council (CRC) in Ottawa is the PI for the RRI and also Deputy Mission Scientist.
Thanks for the messages of congratulations and for the questions. In principle, ePOP RRI can receive any SuperDARN signals, as it is designed to receive in the appropriate HF bandwidth. The RRI must be scheduled to receive on the SuperDARN transmitter frequency. The upgrades to the Saskatoon radar that improve the accuracy of the timing between the ground and the satellite should allow us the required accuracy to analyse propagation delays of the O and X modes. I will check with the Engineering team to find out what this upgrade entails and can let you know if you are interested. We can also make available the RCP once it has been well tested and works reliably.
The scientific instruments are being tested and all goes smoothly, as we understand. The Radio Receiver Instrument (RRI) is designed to receive SuperDARN pulses, and the Saskatoon radar has been modified to achieve more accurate time synchronization with the RRI.
I am very pleased to let you know that RRI has successfully received SuperDARN signals, and the data were successfully transmitted from the satellite. The data analysis is being led by Dr. Rob Gillies, who is now at the University of Calgary. He has sent us a couple of plots to share, and these are attached.
Two sequential 8-pulse sequences are clear in one of the plots, and the other plot zooms in to reveal the detail of the individual pulses. The four panels are the four RRI data channels (essentially, panels 1 and 2 are one dipole and 3 and 4 are the other dipole). In the zoomed view you can see that the pulse lengths are 300 us and RRI records approximately 1.5 wavelengths per pulse. Rob did a quick calculation that 1.5/300us = 5000 Hz. Since the Saskatoon radar was transmitting at 14010 kHz and RRI was receiving at 14005 kHz, it looks like the frequency is correct. The varying intensity of the pulses in the sequence hints at really interesting studies about the Faraday rotation of the radio waves. Rob adds that the UTC time for these plots was ~23:32:42 on 7 Nov 2013. He believes that ePOP was near 66.5 deg geographic latitude, -102.9 degrees longitude, and 363 km altitude.
We are excited about the successful launch of ePOP, and we look forward to doing lots of neat science with the data. We hope that you will look to ePOP to do some interesting experiments also.

Nine Mile Falls Elementary is committed to promoting kindness and compassion so our school remains a safe place to learn and grow. Rachel Scott left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to look for the best in others, dream big, choose positive influences and start a chain reaction of kindness.
We learned that Rachel drew a hand on the back of her dresser and it reads, “These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of people's hearts”. At Nine Mile, we have created our own hand to symbolize Rachel's mission. Each hand represents an act of kindness and compassion committed by a student, staff member or a member of the community.
Every time a student or staff member gets recognized for their act of kindness, we add it to represent how together, as a community, we will start a chain reaction that will change the world.
Mr. Kurt Kimberling and his 7th grade Tech classes. We worked together to create and construct this amazing project from start to finish. With their help and hard work, they gave our idea life!
They have given us a gift that symbolizes the power of love, kindness and compassion. This hand represents how together, as a community, we can start a chain reaction that will change the world.
committed citizens can change the world.

The Family-Led Care model was developed by the Every Preemie—SCALE project to empower families to care for their preterm and low birthweight newborns while practicing Kangaroo Mother Care in the health facility and at home after discharge. Building on lessons learned during implementation in Balaka District, Malawi, this Family-Led Care Guide has been updated for a global audience and can be adapted for use in local contexts. The full package is available here.
The Family-Led Care package of materials, currently being rolled out in Balaka district, Malawi, was developed in close collaboration with the Balaka District Health Office and other stakeholders to improve facility- and home-based care of preterm/LBW newborns. More information and the full package of materials can be found here.
In 2017 Every Preemie led the development of a protocol and tools for a situation analysis to provide a better understanding of the landscape of inpatient care for small and sick newborns in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this analysis is to assess service readiness and quality of care by examining health system structures, facility processes, national policies and clinical standards and parent/caregiver experience for inpatient care of small and sick newborns in a range of countries. The protocol and tools, country implementation guides, and tabulation templates are available for download below.
About the design process: The situation analysis protocol was designed by a multi-partner core team including USAID, the Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP), Saving Newborn Lives (SNL), UNICEF, WHO, the URC ASSIST Project, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Global Health Supply Chain Project at Chemonics. A broader advisory group consisting of additional representatives from the organizations above as well as the Knowledge Management Services Project and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) was engaged to provide input to the draft protocol and tools. The materials were finalized in early 2017 after pretesting in two countries. Findings from country implementation will be available on the Every Preemie website in mid-2019.
This continuum of care matrix designed by Every Preemie—SCALE outlines key interventions for the prevention of preterm birth, the management of preterm labor, and care for the preterm or small newborn across two continuums—from the household/community to the health center and hospital, and from pre-pregnancy and pregnancy through labor, delivery and care of the preterm newborn.
ACS is one of thirteen critical commodities identified by the United Nations Commission on Life Saving Commodities for Women and Children (UNCoLSC) and is one of ten interventions in the WHO Recommendations for interventions to improve preterm birth outcomes, 2015. In early-2016, the USAID-funded Every Preemie—SCALE project was asked by the UNCoLSC Newborn Health Technical Resource Team to conduct a policy and implementation landscape analysis of ACS use for women at risk of imminent preterm birth.
To inform programmatic inputs, Every Preemie implemented a qualitative formative assessment in July 2016 focused on community, family member, and health care provider knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions around preterm and LBW newborns and related care practices in Balaka district, Malawi. This report is available here.
On February 15, 2017, four international joint statements were released during the launch of the Quality of Care Network in Lilongwe, Malawi. The joint statements, developed in collaboration with professional health associations and supported by USAID and other partners, demonstrate how professional associations can work powerfully together in support of quality of care objectives at both global and country levels.
The international joint statement on preterm birth, developed by Every Preemie—SCALE and GAPPS, was endorsed by COINN, ICM, ICN, FIGO, IPA, AAP, ACNM, and ACOG, and affirms their support for the 2015 WHO Recommendations on interventions to improve preterm birth outcomes. The joint statement emphasizes the important, collaborative role professional organizations have in assisting countries to implement the WHO recommendations and details clear actions needed to support their safe and effective implementation.
The Country Profiles of Preterm and Low Birth Weight Prevention and Care present data related to preterm birth and low birth weight for the 25 USAID maternal and child health priority countries, including relevant risk factors, coverage of important care for pregnant women and newborns, and insights into the health workforce and health policies. They can be accessed on the Country Profiles tab.
These materials include agendas, recordings, and other relevant materials for events outside of the Global Technical Working Group. For those materials, please see the Global Technical Working Group tab.
Every Preemie—SCALE facilitated a meeting of the UNCoLSC ACS Technical Working Group on June 14, 2016, which included dissemination of the ACS landscape analysis conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa and engagement of leaders on recommendations and next steps for ACS. Click here for meeting materials and presentations.
Every Preemie–SCALE collaborated with partners on an event to discuss challenges and solutions to specialized care for the small, sick newborn, with a panel of country representatives.
Essential Care for Every Baby and Essential Care for Small Babies are two training packages under Helping Babies Survive, a growing suite of evidence-based, hands-on programs developed to reduce neonatal mortality in resource-limited environments.
Essential Care for Every Baby (ECEB) teaches health care providers essential newborn care practices to keep all babies healthy from the time of birth to discharge from the facility, and improves newborn care skills through hands-on learning and practice.
Essential Care for Small Babies (ECSB) teaches the special care needed for small or premature babies born in low resource areas, so birth attendants and mothers learn how to keep them warm by skin-to-skin wrapping, and keep them nourished with alternative feeding methods. ECSB improves the capacity of health workers to support the needs of small and premature babies through hands-on learning and practice.
Threatened Preterm Birth Care is part of the Helping Mothers Survive and Helping Babies Survive suite of training modules. It is a two-day course designed for teams of health workers who provide care for women and newborns. The content is based on the 2015 WHO recommendations on interventions to improve preterm birth outcomes and focuses on identifying women likely to deliver a preterm baby within 7 days and the actions that can be taken prior to birth to improve survival.
Developed by the Global Health Media Project, the Small Baby Series consists of 27 short teaching videos which demonstrate life-saving practices such as how to keep premature babies warm with skin-to-skin care, and how to feed them with a cup or feeding tube before they’re strong enough to breastfeed. The series also includes five videos designed specifically for mothers to demystify the needs of premature infants and help them care for their babies both in the hospital and at home. Content was developed in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics to complement the Essential Care for Small Babies training program. The videos are available in English, French and Spanish.

I’ll start counting calories (a better term for DIET!) to help lessen my post-partum pooch. Soooo, I’m torturing myself by looking at these Foodiescoveries last month. Enjoy!
These are from Waffo’s located in the Food Hall of SM Megamall. Z enjoyed ordering as he saw how the waffle and filling came together. They have a lot of sweet and savory fillings to choose from.
Best ribs ever! But I learned that they aren’t real ribs, hahaha! I like it with the lettuce and mayo. I hope it stays on the menu forever!
This is Taro Ice Cream and you can only get it in Bataan. There’s also a waiting line if you didn’t pre-order. It is that good! Very refreshing with bits of cheese.
I have a penchant for tacos or nachos and this hit the right spot! I finished this appetizer all by myself, haha!
And because it was my birthday month, I gotta have cake! But Z almost finished yhis Rainbow Cake from Cupcakes bu Sonja! The cake was moist and the marshmallow icing was generously spread! I loooove it!
Torture, no?! If only my metabolism isn’t slowing down!

Preparing for a baby? Don’t forget that your partner is half the equation. He needs prenatal nutrition at least as much as you, and possibly more. Why more? Surely, sperm is sperm. There can’t be much to it, can there?
Actually, there’s a lot more to the male side of things than you may have thought. Male factor accounts for 50 percent of all infertility and a good proportion of miscarriage. It’s worthy of a little thought and preparation.
To have any chance of pregnancy, your guy needs to deliver at least 15 million sperm per one milliliter of ejaculate. That seems like a big number until you consider that 15 million is actually about 10 times times less than what men used to deliver even a few decades ago. Sperm numbers (sperm counts) have been in free-fall for the last 50 years, and that’s making it harder and harder for the average man to father a baby.
Numbers are not the only hurdle. Your partner’s sperm must also have a normal morphology or shape, which means his sperm has the right genetic quality to do the job. Sperm morphology is often overlooked by doctors, but it can make or break your chance of pregnancy and a healthy baby. For example, poor sperm morphology can be the primary cause of either infertility or miscarriage.
Fortunately, both sperm count and sperm morphology can be greatly improved by lifestyle choices and nutrition. Here are some easy tips for the future father of your child.
Smoking causes “DNA fragmentation” of sperm, which is just as bad as it sounds. DNA fragmentation is genetic damage of sperm, which can lead to infertility, increased chance of miscarriage, and even long-term health problems for your future child.
Abdominal obesity is another potential cause of low sperm count and DNA fragmentation. The problem is the high level of insulin associated with belly fat. Chronically elevated insulin reduces testosterone and impairs sperm production.
Alcohol is another sperm saboteur. According to a recent study out of Denmark, even a few drinks per week can impact sperm morphology and lead to alterations in fetal development and an increased risk of miscarriage.
Male fertility can also be impaired by common medications such as antibiotics, antidepressants, and anti-inflammatories. For example, the over-the-counter drug ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin) was recently found to interfere with testosterone and sperm production.
Salads are not just for potential mothers. Potential fathers can also benefit from the folate and other micronutrients in green leafy vegetables. Guys who eat their veggies have higher sperm motility and enhanced fertility.
A healthy diet is the best source of sperm-building nutrients, but if you want an added boost, consider a male prenatal vitamin supplement. Unlike a female prenatal vitamin which is high in iron and calcium, your partner’s prenatal will feature the folate, coenzyme Q10, and zinc he needs to improve sperm count, sperm morphology, and pregnancy rate. Keep in mind that it takes three months to build new sperm. It will take that long to see any change.
Trouble conceiving? Before you go down the path of intervention or even natural female fertility enhancement as discussed in my book Period Repair Manual, please get a sperm test. It’s simple and non-invasive and can even be done with a do-it-yourself home test! Self-testing is a great way to detect a problem. It also gives your partner the opportunity to track improvements from his new sperm-friendly diet and lifestyle.

Nursing Recruitment and Retention To be a good nurse, you have to be a physically strong and emotionally stable person, and you have to be able to think on your feet. Though nursing is not an easy profession, it is very rewarding. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the nursing shortage and nursing retention and recruitment strategies for facilities.
The nursing shortage crisis is caused by nurse burnout, an aging Registered Nurse (RN) population, not enough nurses graduating due to a shortage of nurse faculty, and an increase of patients as “baby boomers” retire, grow older, and experience age-related illnesses.
There are many challenges involved with the nursing shortage, including recruiting RN’s and then being able to retain those RN’s in order to provide adequate, safe staffing, Ensuring appropriate staffing is necessary for safe and competent patient care, as well as a healthy work environment. Once a nurse has been recruited, the challenge becomes how to keep them due to the high cost of nurse turnover. Many facilities offer benefits, such as mentoring programs, tuition reimbursement, and longevity bonuses, to help keep nurses from leaving.
Nursing Shortage Defined The nursing shortage poses a significant problem for nurses, especially with job satisfaction and patient care. Most nurses use a holistic approach to patient care, meaning they care for the patient’s mind, body and spirit. This approach, however, takes more time and with the nursing shortage nurses feel like they are not adequately staffed to be able to give good, patient care. According to the American Hospital Association (AHA) there has been a nursing shortage since as early as 1999.
In 2010, the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there were 2,737,400 registered nurses, with an expected 26% increase of nursing jobs by 2020. So what are some contributing factors that affect the nursing shortage? First, the aging baby-boomer population will have a major influence on the health care system and especially nursing. Currently the average age of a baby-boomer is 50-70 years old and will soon demand more age-related healthcare services, which leads to another contribution to the nursing shortage.
In 2008, the average age of RN’s was 46, with many nurses expecting to retire between the ages of 60-65. Finally, faculty shortages at nursing schools limit the number of graduating nurses. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing website stated, “U. S. nursing schools turned away 75,587 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2011 due to insufficient number of faculty, clinical sites, classroom space, clinical preceptors, and budget constraints. ” (para. 3) The nursing shortage cannot be fixed if we do not have enough students to replace those nurses who quit or retire.
Effects of Burnout In addition to these causes, burnout often strikes nurses due to the high levels of stress, understaffing, increased workload and mandatory overtime. Burnout is a condition that shows itself as being fatigued all the time, irritability, insomnia and depression. According to the article Nurse Burnout and Patient Satisfaction, employers have an increased cost in personnel due to the fact that burnout leads to employees being absent, late to work, and an increase in the turnover rate.
(Vahey, Aiken, Sloane, Clarke, & Vargas, 2010, para. 6) Nursing Retention and Recruitment Strategies In order to ensure safe staffing, hospitals need to focus on recruiting nurses and retaining their current nursing staff. To help build better teams and increase staff satisfaction, management should engage employees in nurse recruitment and nurse retention. The cost of recruiting and retaining nurses, however, can be expensive for facilities, especially high nurse turnover rates.
The Online Journal of Nursing reports that the cost of turnover, for each nurse, can range between $22,000 to over $64,000. (Bland & Gates, 2007, para. 3). Factors that contribute to the cost of turnover include orientating and training new staff and covering for loss of staff, either thru travel nurses or overtime with current staff. As it can take years to develop the skill and training needed to work in specialty units, the loss of experienced nurses is especially costly. The retention of employees is dependent on reducing turnover.
One positive aspect of the nursing shortage is that it has provided nurses the opportunity to find an employer that will meet their needs. Many things factor into the retention of a single nurse, among other things, nurses want safe workplaces with adequate staffing be able to give quality patient care, the flexibility to manage their work schedule around their home life, and a decent salary. Organizations need to cultivate a work area in which staff want to work in order to promote staff retention. Organizations also cannot afford to simply react to the workforce shortage.
Attracting qualified nurses is one of the most important steps that can be taken to ensure a high standard of care. There are many different ways that organizations can utilize to recruit those qualified nurses. An online article for the American Organization of Nurse Executive’s publication Nurse Leader listed the top sources of new hires, and the top three included employee referral, organization’s website and general job boards. If staff satisfaction were made a priority from organizations, referrals from current employees could attract qualified, seasoned nurses.
Other recruitment strategies include offering incentives, like salary, flexible schedules, education incentives and tuition reimbursement. (Brooks & Caffey, 2008) Conclusion Today’s society of aging baby boomers and nurses, faculty shortage due to low enrollment in nursing schools and the higher expectations of medical care are all helping cause today’s environment of nursing crisis. By ensuring that the needs of the hospital and nurses are met this leads to better patient care and better patient care leads to better patient satisfaction scores.

Nursing Recruitment and Retention To be a good nurse , you have to be a physically strong and emotionally stable person , and you have to be able to think on your feet . Though nursing is not an easy profession , it is very rewarding . The purpose of this paper is to discuss the nursing shortage and nursing retention and recruitment strategies for facilities .
 The nursing shortage crisis is caused by nurse burnout , an aging Registered Nurse ( RN ) population , not enough nurses graduating due to a shortage of nurse faculty , and an increase of patients as “ baby boomers ” retire , grow older , and experience age - related illnesses .
 There are many challenges involved with the nursing shortage , including recruiting RN ’s and then being able to retain those RN ’s in order to provide adequate , safe staffing , Ensuring appropriate staffing is necessary for safe and competent patient care , as well as a healthy work environment . Once a nurse has been recruited , the challenge becomes how to keep them due to the high cost of nurse turnover . Many facilities offer benefits , such as mentoring programs , tuition reimbursement , and longevity bonuses , to help keep nurses from leaving .
 Nursing Shortage Defined The nursing shortage poses a significant problem for nurses , especially with job satisfaction and patient care . Most nurses use a holistic approach to patient care , meaning they care for the patient ’s mind , body and spirit . This approach , however , takes more time and with the nursing shortage nurses feel like they are not adequately staffed to be able to give good , patient care . According to the American Hospital Association ( AHA ) there has been a nursing shortage since as early as 1999 .
 In 2010 , the United States Department of Labor ’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there were 2,737,400 registered nurses , with an expected 26 % increase of nursing jobs by 2020 . So what are some contributing factors that affect the nursing shortage ? First , the aging baby - boomer population will have a major influence on the health care system and especially nursing . Currently the average age of a baby - boomer is 50 - 70 years old and will soon demand more age - related healthcare services , which leads to another contribution to the nursing shortage .
 In 2008 , the average age of RN ’s was 46 , with many nurses expecting to retire between the ages of 60 - 65 . Finally , faculty shortages at nursing schools limit the number of graduating nurses . The American Association of Colleges of Nursing website stated , “ U. S. nursing schools turned away 75,587 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2011 due to insufficient number of faculty , clinical sites , classroom space , clinical preceptors , and budget constraints . ” ( para . 3 ) The nursing shortage can not be fixed if we do not have enough students to replace those nurses who quit or retire .
 Effects of Burnout In addition to these causes , burnout often strikes nurses due to the high levels of stress , understaffing , increased workload and mandatory overtime . Burnout is a condition that shows itself as being fatigued all the time , irritability , insomnia and depression . According to the article Nurse Burnout and Patient Satisfaction , employers have an increased cost in personnel due to the fact that burnout leads to employees being absent , late to work , and an increase in the turnover rate .
 ( Vahey , Aiken , Sloane , Clarke , & Vargas , 2010 , para . 6 ) Nursing Retention and Recruitment Strategies In order to ensure safe staffing , hospitals need to focus on recruiting nurses and retaining their current nursing staff . To help build better teams and increase staff satisfaction , management should engage employees in nurse recruitment and nurse retention . The cost of recruiting and retaining nurses , however , can be expensive for facilities , especially high nurse turnover rates .
 The Online Journal of Nursing reports that the cost of turnover , for each nurse , can range between $ 22,000 to over $ 64,000 . ( Bland & Gates , 2007 , para . 3 ) . Factors that contribute to the cost of turnover include orientating and training new staff and covering for loss of staff , either thru travel nurses or overtime with current staff . As it can take years to develop the skill and training needed to work in specialty units , the loss of experienced nurses is especially costly . The retention of employees is dependent on reducing turnover .
 One positive aspect of the nursing shortage is that it has provided nurses the opportunity to find an employer that will meet their needs . Many things factor into the retention of a single nurse , among other things , nurses want safe workplaces with adequate staffing be able to give quality patient care , the flexibility to manage their work schedule around their home life , and a decent salary . Organizations need to cultivate a work area in which staff want to work in order to promote staff retention . Organizations also can not afford to simply react to the workforce shortage .
 Attracting qualified nurses is one of the most important steps that can be taken to ensure a high standard of care . There are many different ways that organizations can utilize to recruit those qualified nurses . An online article for the American Organization of Nurse Executive ’s publication Nurse Leader listed the top sources of new hires , and the top three included employee referral , organization ’s website and general job boards . If staff satisfaction were made a priority from organizations , referrals from current employees could attract qualified , seasoned nurses .
 Other recruitment strategies include offering incentives , like salary , flexible schedules , education incentives and tuition reimbursement . ( Brooks & Caffey , 2008 ) Conclusion Today ’s society of aging baby boomers and nurses , faculty shortage due to low enrollment in nursing schools and the higher expectations of medical care are all helping cause today ’s environment of nursing crisis . By ensuring that the needs of the hospital and nurses are met this leads to better patient care and better patient care leads to better patient satisfaction scores .
