The theme of Creative Nursing Volume 29 Issue 1 is Inspiring, Recruiting, and Retaining the Health-Care Workforce. The Annotated Table of Contents provides a concise summary of each article, as it relates to the issue’s theme.

Guest Editor Mary Jo Kreitzer, Director of the Bakken Center, states in her article, “We are at a concerning juncture in health care, in which neither patients nor health professionals are satisfied with the operation and outcomes of the U.S. health-care system. While there are sterling examples of extraordinary care that is lifesaving, all too often patients experience care that is fragmented, narrowly focused on a disease process rather than the whole person, and very costly.”

Volume 29 Issue 1 was hosted on the Center's website between February and June 2023.
