The Challenge
Constant nursing vacancies required the health system to continuously recruit and onboard new talent. Recruitment costs added up through placement fees, referral bonuses, and orientation expenses, while leaders had limited opportunity to evaluate a nurse’s long-term fit before making a permanent hire.
What We Did
- Built a travel-to-perm strategy that gave leaders the opportunity to evaluate nurses in real clinical environments.
- Used TotalMed’s 42-point clinical evaluation to align travelers with the needs of each unit.
- Created a pipeline of proven travelers ready to transition into full-time roles.
