A CNO (chief nurse officer) is considering a collaborative effort with a school of nursing to offer externships to students. The CFO (chief financial officer) rejects the proposal because it will cost the organization
Which statement by the CNO would influence the CFO to reconsider this proposal? 1. ?Nursing is the foundation of this hospital and we have to get nurses into the organization.?
2. ?We could hire the students as nurse?s aides, which would save costs.?
3. ?An externship will allow the nursing students to work with nurses, learn about the organization, and
create a positive impression of our facility.?
4. ?Offering a nurse externship would allow the organization to create the types of nurses we would like to
hire.?

Explanation: 1. Nursing is a large portion of the hospital staff but it is not the foundation. Hiring nursing
students as nurse?s aides would save cost but this position may not allow for the student to
experience a registered nurse?s role. Offering an externship program is a positive step for the
hospital and the school of nursing but there is no guarantee these students will stay with the
organization once they graduate.
