title: Project BEGIN: recruiting students from ancillary personnel.
abstract: Project BEGIN (Be Envied: Get Into Nursing!) was a joint education-service endeavor to recruit students and boost employee morale. A hospital and its school of nursing worked together in preparing licensed practical nurses, unit receptionists, and nursing assistants with the requisites for entry to nursing school. In a span of 2 weeks, 22 employees were in various stages of completing the requirements. The authors discuss the project's implementation and outcomes.
