A profile of the inactive nurse. One solution to the shortage?

The reasons why short-staffed hospitals should consider attracting inactive nurses back to practice are clear: they are an excellent potential source of staff, and there are nearly 400,000 of them. How to attract them back, however, is not as evident. A North Carolina health-education agency surveyed approximately 430 inactive nurses, asking them what made them leave and what would bring them back.

Perinatal assessment.

The role of the nurse in early recognition of risk factors in the perinatal period is very important. The author suggests that obstetrical units use a perinatal nursing team whose role would include the careful assessment of mother and infant for risk factors during the prenatal, intrapartal, and immediate neonatal periods. The perinatal assessment guide accompanying the text offers a comprehensive compilation of data to assist in the identification of perinatal risk factors. This guide will be useful for nurses working in obstetrical units and for nursing instructors teaching student nurses maternal-newborn nursing assessment.
