    Author: Lehna C, Sheaffer J, Andrade-Pulido M, Martinez A, Bishop B.
    Journal: J Pediatr Nurs; 2006 Feb; 21(1):73-9. PubMed ID: 16428017.
    Abstract:
    The nurse recruitment program at our private children's hospital provides an opportunity for family members of employees who are interested in becoming a nurse to learn more about pediatric nursing. This article describes our 5-hour recruitment program that includes didactic information, a hospital tour, and clinical experience through "nurse shadowing." Participants, presenters, and nurse preceptors have favorably evaluated this program. Programs like this can be used by other institutions to encourage and maintain interest in nursing and the health care professions.
