Sådan rekrutterer vi sygeplejersker – En innovativ rekrutteringsmetode inden for sygeplejen

Resumé
Denne artikel udforsker en innovativ rekrutteringsmetode inden for sygepleje, hvor ansøgere tilsendes en case, omfattende en faglig artikel om Personcentreret Praksis (PCP), som de skal læse, analysere og under ansættelsessamtalen, henholde til deres eget faglige interesseområde.

Ved at anvende en case-baseret rekrutteringsmetode, har vi på Børne- og Ungeafdelingen, Sjællands Universitetshospital, Roskilde, skabt dialog om PCP-principper og udfordret konventionelle antagelser om rekruttering. Ansøgernes perspektiver, erfaringer og refleksioner indgår i denne artikel, og resultaterne viser, at metoden ikke kun evaluerer, men også forpligter både afdelingen og ansøger til afdelingens sygeplejefaglige strategi, nemlig PCP. Metoden fremmer innovation og ønsket er at andre afdelinger ser fordelene ved metoden og anvender den.

English abstract

Recruiting nurses in new ways – an innovative recruitment method in nursing

This article explores an innovative recruitment method in nursing, in which applicants are sent a case consisting of a scholarly article on Person‑Centred Practice (PCP). They are asked to read and analyse the article and, during the job interview, relate PCP to their own professional field of interest.

By using this case‑based recruitment method, the Children and Youth Department at a university hospital in Roskilde has created dialogue about PCP principles and challenged conventional assumptions about recruitment. Applicants’ perspectives, experiences and reflections are included in the article, and the findings show that the method not only evaluates applicants but also commits both the department and the applicant to the department’s nursing strategy, namely PCP. The method promotes innovation, and the hope is that other departments will recognise its benefits and adopt it.

Keywords: Nurse recruitment, innovative recruitment methods, person‑centred practice (PCP), case‑based interviews, nursing strategy, organisational commitment.
