A chief nurse officer (CNO) is considering a collaborative effort with a school of nursing to offer externships to students. The chief financial officer (CFO) rejects the proposal because it will entail a cost to 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 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."

Rationale 1: Stating that nursing is the foundation of the hospital may alienate a CFO who works closely with staff from other departments.
Rationale 2: 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.
Rationale 3: The best rationale for an externship program is that it allows the students to work with nurses and to learn about the profession and how it is practiced in the organization. Hopefully, this will result in the student having a positive impression of the facility.
Rationale 4: "Create the types of nurses we would like to hire" is a demeaning statement and would not be likely to influence a CFO positively.
