Rationale: Aiken and her colleagues (2003) concluded that hospitals with a higher proportion of nurses educated at least at the baccalaureate level saw lower mortality and failure-to-rescue rates among surgical patients. Friese et al. (2008) concluded that this level of education would result in substantially fewer adverse outcomes. The text does not discuss nurse salaries at a higher education level or report research regarding the number of lawsuits filed against hospitals.
