Abstract

There is a shortage of nurses in America. This article provides an applied example of the value of ethnographic/qualitative research in an urban hospital's emergency room to identify factors associated with nurse turnover and low morale. A narrative that identifies some of the underlying problems in a hospital's emergency room is provided. The authors challenge public administration research methods courses to broaden their focus and incorporate more qualitiative methods.
