CDH Nurse- Recruitment Tactics Profiled

NORTHAMPTON — Cooley Dickinson Hospital (CDH) was one of several hospitals featured in a segment by Boston’s WCVB-TV Channel 5 on nurse-recruitment tactics.

The show, called Chronicle, examined Bay State hospitals that have used alternative approaches to recruit nurses.

For the past year, CDH has invited qualified nurse candidates to dinner with nurse recruiters and managers to discuss available nursing positions. The unique approach has proven successful in filling nursing positions at the 125-bed hospital.
