A nurse who is obtaining a bachelor degree in nursing is sharing the concept of magnet status for hospitals. The nurse explains to the nursing staff that magnet hospitals appeal to nurses because of:
 
  1. Centralized administration.
  2. Higher salaries.
  3. Lower nurse/client ratios.
  4. Participatory management.

Question 2

What is the most significant disadvantage of using hiring bonuses or sign-on bonuses as hiring aids?
 
  1. They attract new nurse graduates.
  2. They do not affect wage scales.
  3. They discourage current staff.
  4. They recognize achievement and experience.

Question 3

A newly hired OB nurse with several years of experience is hired into a higher pay scale than a currently employed OB nurse who has 3 years experience. The manager explains to the nurse that this effect is referred to as:

  2. Salary compression.
  3. Salary acceleration.
