title: Developing a nurse recruitment plan.
abstract: Your hospital's nurse staffing needs will be more effectively served if recruiters develop and implement a formal nurse recruitment plan for each fiscal year. Such an annual planning process proactively manages nurse recruitment by rational anticipation. It systematically determines current nursing needs, predicts future needs, establishes recruitment objectives, identifies matching strategies for realizing these objectives, executes the plan, and evaluates its success.
