Our hospital has offered: Nothing. Nothing to the nurse on staff for the referral and nothing to the new hire. We were sent an email saying we didn't reach our goal of referrals for HR.Just curiouswhat other hospitals are doing. I heard about the Volkswagon Beetles Methodist offered at one time. What sign-ons/perks are your hospitals offering? I might need to look into to some!

I'm sorry to say this, but you have some real dimwits in HR. But then, you probably already knew that.
Your job is to provide nursing care, not recruit.
I would be tempted to find my job description, copy it, attach a copy of the email and return it to HR noting that recruiting is not my responsibility!!
Now I did work for a company that believed the best referrals came from existing employees and offered a $1000 signing bonus to the person who made the referral if someone was hired. But this was an industry where there were 500 applicants for each position and took lots of effort to make each hire. The co figured it was worth the money to get a good candidate right off the bat.

That was SO cute!!! Got to remember THAT one. Sad to say it is a great metaphor as well, but that is what makes it so good.
