Rajapaksa, Sushama; Rothstein, William. Factors That Influence the Decisions of Men and Women Nurses to Leave Nursing. Philadelphia: Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009. Print.
This article was about the reasons why many men and women do not remain in nursing, and why they more than likely switch over to different occupations. The article noted that the three main reasons that men and women leave are because of the salary, better hours, and how rewarding the occupation is. It was found that many men leave nursing because they find that the job does not pay enough to be sufficient to be the dominant factor in a family, and the sole provider.
Also it was noted that the US has a shortage of nurses because of all of the aging baby boomers becoming increasingly older. The article listed some possible solutions that could be done to retain nurses, one of the most important was the ability of employers to provide some sort of tuition assistance so that nurses could go back to school to receive a better degree and also increase their pay.
