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

Rationale 1: A hospital should focus on their local area initially and then extend to other geographical areas.
Rationale 2: Rural hospitals do recruit in metropolitan areas but typically focus on the local area as priority.
Rationale 3: Metropolitan nurses' skills and rural hospital nurses' skills are similar. Their client populations are different but rural hospital nurses have similar nursing skills, especially when stabilizing clients for transfer to tertiary hospitals.
Rationale 4: There is no indication that the CNO does not respect this director, who may have fresh ideas and new perspective when addressing recruitment.
