Abstract

According to the U.S. Census, 19.6 million Americans, 19% of the workforce, will be 65 years old or more. The medical profession is not immune to the implications of an aging society. The trends towards an increasing geriatric population suggest that by 2030 a substantial gap in the number of health professionals needed will exist. In the United States alone, 3.5 million healthcare providers will be required to match the current balance of health workers to population. It is apparent that the dynamics of aging will impact the healthcare system and the wellbeing, recruitment, and retention of nurses. In order to address the emerging gaps, retention efforts should include both management and development-oriented interventions.
