Absenteeism continues to be a great concern to hospital administrators. Nursing personnel should have a clear idea of acceptable attendance parameters based on written policies that are routinely administered. Efforts are now directed toward exploring strategies that reward personnel for good attendance records. Early development of professional attitudes related to absenteeism should continue to be supported and fostered. Implications from this preliminary study indicate that it may be more cost-effective to hire RNs than STs to work in ORs.
