As Gen Z and new technologies arrive simultaneously in the nursing industry, CNOs need to take a hard look at their recruitment strategies.
In the latest edition of HealthLeaders' The Winning Edge webinar series, a panel of nurse leaders discussed best practices for recruiting the best nurses.
The discussion included three key takeaways: how to reboot the nurse recruitment process, the ways Gen Z nurses are changing the face of recruitment, and how CNOs should leverage social media to help new nurses decide where to work.
The Winning Edge for Recruiting the Best Nurses webinar included three experts on the subject: Gail Vozzella, chief nurse executive at Houston Methodist; Jess Almeida, chief nursing officer at Cedars Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital, and Larry Adams, chief nursing executive and SVP of strategy at CareRev. Tune in to hear their insights.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Health systems must be ready to offer new nurses enticing hiring packages with benefits, and check in with them throughout their first year of employment.
To attract Gen Z nurses, health systems must be transparent about their positions on social issues, and provide volunteering and community outreach opportunities.
CNOs and health systems need to invest in social media presence and branding to help nurses decide where they want to begin their careers.
