Recruiting the next generation of nursing leaders

Editor's Note

When recruiting Generations X and Y candidates for nursing administration roles, interventions supporting work-life harmony should be emphasized, this study finds.

Respondents to a survey, which examined the impact of a set of interventions on recruiting nurses into administrative roles, indicated that 45% of the interventions had a moderate to high impact on their consideration for an administrative position.

There was a statistical significance for four of the interventions that were related to work-life harmony.

The researchers concluded that fiscally conservative interventions exist to assist administrators with succession planning for nurse managers.
