Registered Nurse Recruitment
Stabilizing RN staffing for a major Atlanta hospital.
The Engagement
A leading Atlanta hospital was experiencing significant RN shortages across its emergency, surgical and specialty departments. High turnover, growing patient demand and intense competition for nursing talent in the Atlanta market were creating a compounding staffing challenge.
Staff burnout was increasing as existing nurses absorbed additional workload. Longer patient wait times were affecting care quality and patient satisfaction. The organization needed to stabilize its RN workforce quickly and sustainably.
The hospital needed an exclusive recruiting partner with deep knowledge of the Georgia nursing market — one that could identify qualified RNs with the right clinical backgrounds and deliver candidates who would stay.
The Recruiting Challenge
A combination of market competition, high turnover and growing patient demand was making RN recruitment increasingly difficult:
Intense Atlanta Market Competition
The Atlanta healthcare market is highly competitive for nursing talent, with multiple major health systems competing for the same pool of qualified RNs.
High Turnover
Elevated RN turnover was creating a continuous backfill cycle that strained recruiting resources and kept staffing levels below target.
Growing Patient Demand
Increasing patient volume across emergency, surgical and specialty departments was amplifying the impact of every unfilled RN position.
Staff Burnout
Existing nurses were absorbing additional workload to cover vacancies, accelerating burnout and contributing to further turnover.
The hospital needed a recruiting partner that could identify Georgia-licensed RNs with relevant multi-specialty backgrounds, screen for fit and retention potential and deliver candidates who would stabilize the workforce rather than add to the turnover cycle.
