Amid today's recruitment and retention challenges at health systems, Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health advises that nurses consider seven questions when interviewing to ensure they find the right cultural fit.
The questions, posted online Oct. 5:
1. What's the culture like?
2. Do I have a say in what days and hours I work?
3. What's the training/orientation like? Will I have support?
4. What’s the management philosophy?
5. Do they walk the talk on diversity?
6. What opportunities will I have to continue my education?
7. Last, but not least … [what efforts do they make to foster a sense of community?]
Novant Health has 15 medical centers and more than 9,000 nurses.
