Reducing nurse aide turnover through the use of weighted applications blank procedure.
High turnover rates among hospital nurses demand rigorous and valid processes of research to determine the reasons motivating such attrition. This study was designed to determine whether use of a weighted application blank has the potential to improve the selection of employees in the nursing home industry. The use of weighted application blanks is, in essence, a proactive approach to reducing turnover. The initial results exhibit great potential to reduce high levels of turnover by reducing the number of poor candidates selected for employment.
