Description: The purpose of this study was to identify and describe factors that would influence the decision of inactive nurses to return to work in a hospital setting with a view to providing a possible interim solution to the nursing shortage problem. The study describes the factors that would influence their decision to return to hospital nursing.

Inactive nurses in New Jersey were surveyed by use of a 46 item questionnaire designed by the investigator. The instrument asked for demographic, educational, licensure, work, career, and professional information.

Nurses were asked to what extent specific factors contributed to their inactive status. A rank ordering was required of 31 factors that would influence their decision to return to hospital nursing. A Likert type scale was utilized to rank order the relative importance of each item.

The factors identified by inactive nurses to attract them back into the hospital setting are important; however, whether or not they would actually return if these factors were present is not known. Further study on this subject is indicated. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.).
