Dear Healthcare Professional,

As the demand for quality healthcare continues to expand, the shortage of quality nurses continues to grow. Healthcare facilities are faced with increased turnover rates, increased staffing costs and decreased staff morale. Furthermore, the lack of skilled nurses is reducing the quality of healthcare and jeopardizing compliance issues. To address this crisis, many managers have resorted to expensive compensation programs and signing incentives to recruit new nurses.  The question is: Are they worth it? 

Some healthcare facilities didn’t think so, and they designed alternative strategies to maximize recruitment and retention while minimizing program costs.  This national summit will gather together those pioneers who have designed and implemented such successful and innovative strategies. Join today’s leading healthcare professionals at the 2002 Nursing Recruitment and Retention Conference being hosted December 2-4, 2002 in San Diego.

Master Innovative Recruitment and Retention Techniques

Provide the highest level of care possible by finding and keeping the quality nurses your organization needs. The Summit will present key methodologies to improve recruiting, such as mentoring and magnet hospital recognition. Gain insight into the lessons learned from practitioners who have faced and overcome the challenges of hiring and retaining quality nurses in today’s tight labor market.

Reduce Hiring Costs

Benefit from the cumulative knowledge and lessons learned amassed by healthcare professionals with years of experience in recruiting and retaining the best and the brightest healthcare professionals. After this conference, you will have the tools to supplement performance-based compensation with inexpensive professional development and mentoring to decrease your turnover rates. Emerge with the tools to implement effective recruitment programs without paying exorbitant signing bonuses.

Maximize Resources and Minimize Turnover

While many facilities have adopted costly practices to recruit and retain talent, others have begun to exploit under-utilized resources such as technology, credentialing programs, and partnerships.  These “hidden resources” are readily available to most facilities at a low cost.  This conference presents best practices from leading organizations that have successfully utilized these previously untapped resources to meet their staffing demands.

Plus: Post-Conference Application Workshops

Following the Summit, join us for our special application workshops on Winning the War for Talent or HeartMath’s Staff Retention and Development Programs.  As recruiting and retaining difficulties continue to grow, it is vital that you tap into the expertise and best practices of others who are succeeding in their staffing initiatives.  No other event offers you a step-by-step set of nurse recruitment and retention strategies that focus on maximizing recruitment and minimizing costs. Space will be limited, so register yourself and your team today by calling 703-894-0481. I look forward to meeting you in December!
