A CNO (chief nurse officer) of a rural hospital is meeting with department directors and human resources to discuss the hospital?s recruitment strategies. A director suggests a recruitment fair at a metropolitan city 100 miles away
The CNO rejects this proposal. Which of the following would be the CNO?s rationale for this decision? 1. The CNO would prefer to focus on the local area.
2. A metropolitan area is not the area to focus on recruitment for a rural hospital.
3. Metropolitan nurses? skills are too advanced for a rural hospital.
4. The director is new to her role and the CNO does not respect the director?s opinion.

Explanation: 1. A hospital should focus on its local area initially and then extend to other geographical areas.
Rural hospitals do recruit in metropolitan areas but typically focus on the local area as priority.
Metropolitan nurses? skills and rural hospital nurses? skills are similar. Their client populations
are different, but rural hospital and tertiary hospital nurses have similar nursing skills
especially when stabilizing clients. A new director may have fresh ideas and new perspectives
when addressing recruitment.
