In the news: Recruit a new nurse, earn a big bonus at Michigan organization
Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, July 7, 2008
Employees at William Beaumont Hospitals in Royal Oak, MI, in need of some summer spending money are in luck. If they bring a new nurse to the organization, they earn a nifty $5,000.
Heavier-than-usual competition among hospitals in the area is responsible for the heavier-than-usual bonuses, say Beaumont officials. The hope is to recruit between 20 and 100 nurses this year to drive the vacancy rate below 7% at the three-hospital organization. The national nurse vacancy rate is at 15%.
The organization isn't just relying on its employees for help, though. Two weeks ago, it sent out an 11-minute DVD touting the benefits of working at Beaumont to about 54,000 nurses in the Detroit area.
