Please share some creative ways you have recruited that you believe work better than the traditional ads and open houses. I have created positions such as 24 hours Supervising and 16 hours Charge Nurse to get a hard to fill position filled.What works for you? 0 Likes
amoLucia Specializes in LTC. Sep 12, 2014 Question - what does a 24 hour Supervising position entail? That 24 hour business would frighten me off unless you've described more info. 0 Likes

CapeCodMermaid, RN Specializes in Gerontology, Med surg, Home Health. Has 30 years experience. Sep 12, 2014 We were extremely staff challenged this summer...3 nurses out on maternity leave (don't drink the water) and 4 LPNs who all went back to school to be RNs. We tried an open house, Craigslist ads, website applications. We hired one new grad from a local RN program...honestly we all bent over backward to make her orientation wonderful and make her feel welcome. The next week, 2 more women from her class came to apply, the week after, 3 more and today 2 more. I've filled all the slots! They all know each other so they don't feel so alone.Do you have a local nursing school? Call the dean and ask if you can post your positions on their web site or at least give them your info for them to post. 0 Likes
