Creating a Talent Pipeline

But the best hospitals do more than just hope for the best; they set recruiting and training resources to the task. At Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, “we have a nurse internship program that gives new grads better support,” says Armando Morales, a nursing recruiter.
While some hospitals pride themselves on hiring many top-of-their-class graduates, other institutions say academic performance doesn’t predict professional accomplishment. “You can take any nurse and make them successful by giving them the right tools,” says Sharon Dickinson, a clinical nurse specialist in the surgical intensive care unit at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor.
