title: Reducing nurse aide turnover through the use of weighted applications blank procedure.
abstract: 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.
