Like many other countries in the world, Australia is grappling with a chronic shortage of registered nurses (RNs). All areas of nursing are currently affected by shortages and high care residential aged care services are no exception. Selection, recruitment and retention of suitable staff to meet the complex needs of residents in aged care facilities are becoming increasingly challenging and must be addressed as a matter of priority.
