1. If you were a nurse and were applying for a position at this hospital, based on what you saw in the video, do you think you would be treated in a fair and honest manner as you go through the application process? Do you think that having the staff participate along with managers makes the process more or less fair? Why?
2. The Chief Nursing Executive Officer stated that they currently have an ample supply of nurses, there are people on a waiting list for openings, and it will be five to seven years before there will be retirements which will create a significant need for replacements. Therefore, why should La Jolla be concerned about the selection process?
3. Deborah Bennett indicated that the hospital uses a study by the American Academy of Nursing that was based on 14 things that successful hospitals have in common. Since the study was done 25 years ago, would you have any reservations using it?
4. One of the managers (Melanie) stated that the interviewee's behavior in the interview and in the interactions with people while on tour is important to her in the selection process. Do you think that the behavior of people when applying for a job is necessarily representative of how they would be under normal circumstances? If not, would there still be some benefit in focusing on behavior?
