2 3. General Hospital is a 670-bed community hospital located on the outskirts of Delhi in a metropolitan area. One of 4 hospitals in the vicinity. General Hospital has experienced constant growth over the past 20 years. During this period, new wings have been added to the hospital to provide a full array of health services. Currently, the hospital employs 900 people which includes doctors, nurses, and support service personnel. The hospital has been managed by its president and CEO. After all the preliminaries had been established to staff General Hospital Cardiac Surgery Unit (CSU), it was still too early to fill the slots. Both Mohan (the personnel specialist) and Rachna (hospital's nurse recruiter) realized that the nurses needed to fill these positions were specialists. These nurses would usually have had four to six years of nursing experience to qualify to work in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and at least three years of progressive intensive care experience. Surgical experience is desirable but not mandatory. Rachna has contemplated cross training all the nurses currently working in the ICU to handle the CSU's staffing needs, but problems are anticipated. What if the nurses do not want to work in the CSU? Should they be forced to expand their work activities? If the nurses do not want to work in the CSU, will that cause a staffing shortage in the ICU? After some investigation, Rachna found substance to her speculations. Only one-half of the ICU nurses want to be trained in the CSU's techniques. And if they do not want to be trained, a staffing shortage will result not only during the actual staffing of the CSU but also during the training and orientation programme to instruct the nurses. L eon. Mome The perplexities are real, but something must be done soon. The new unit is scheduled to open in a few weeks and is contingent on proper staffing. Questions to be answered: a) List the sources of recruitment and mention the preferred source for this case. b) Develop the Job Specification for the job titled "Nurse" to CSU. 2 3.
