Greetings!
Rebecca Spa Winner!
Welcome to the Melnic Consulting Group newsletter for June.   As President of Melnic Consulting Group, I would like to take a moment of your valuable time to better acquaint you with our capabilities and outline the advantages that a business relationship with Melnic would bring to your company. While other companies have pediatric departments, none of them are comparable to Melnic Consulting Group's exclusive focus on Pediatric Advanced Practice and Nursing Leadership positions. Melnic maintains an ever-increasing database of over 9,000 Pediatric Advanced Practice Nurses and Nursing Leaders that we have regular contact with through personal communication in addition to monthly newsletters. An example of our esteem in the Health Care Community can be seen in a phone call we received yesterday from a candidate who had been both informed of Melnic via her professor and whom we had contacted a mere two days previously. Our consistency and excellence within the nursing community is evidenced by the number of our placements at some of the most highly-rated pediatric institutions in the United States including: Children's National Medical Center of DC, Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, and Alfred Dupont Nemours in Delaware who now recruit almost exclusively with Melnic to name a few.
 
     The point of this email is not to bring up what Melnic Consulting Group has done for other fine Medical Institutions in the United States, it is to show you what Melnic Consulting Group can do for you. We understand that these are challenging economic times to work in, and that most in-house nurse recruiters tend to look outside only on difficult-to-fill positions. We have working relationships with many people in the same position, and we want you to know that your relationship with us and the assistance we can bring you is determined by one person: you. We understand that your time is valuable, so in the event that you choose us, you have our company promise that we will only bring the highest quality of candidates to suit your needs. Rest assured that the time you save working with Melnic will help your bottom line.

     We hope to work with you on an ongoing basis. We currently have candidates for PNP and nursing leadership jobs and we would like to help you either now or in the future.  

     Thank you for your time, and I look forward to working with you.  Please feel free to give me a call discuss any details or questions you might have at (800) 886-7906.

 
Warmest Regards,
Melnic Consulting Group

Retained Search - to Engage or Not Engage?
 How do I address the Retained Search Dilemma for Advanced Practice Nurses? 
   
     The argument that you should contract for a retained search to compensate the recruiter to devote 80-100% of their time to your job search and therefore who will find you a competent and qualified candidate quickly is questionable.  Particularly when their in-house database of qualified pediatric advanced practice nurses is most likely limited. Because you pay them upfront, generally at a higher fee for their services, and you give up any other candidates that come your way through another recruiter or you pay them for a candidate that you find yourself, you can feel a lot of apprehension to make a retained search commitment.  Melnic Consulting Group believes you should feel this way. This has come to my attention lately because of two situations where the children's hospital was "locked" into a retained search and could not look at qualified candidates that Melnic brought to them. Both hospitals were regretting their commitment to a retained search.
    
     As in-house recruiters, you have a lot of responsibility. You perform the combined task of processing a vast amount of resumes whether filtered or unfiltered by your ATS system and managing the work flow of viable candidates. As a result, you have many irons in the fire. Volume aside, you have the responsibility of a working knowledge of all the jobs on your job board including the required qualifications. That is an enormous task. Then the question arises, what should you do with those essential and more challenging jobs that need to be filled. When your options to contact candidates and the time you have available to devote to any one job are limited, you will probably turn to a recruiter for help.

What is the Impact of the Economy on Recruiting?
In the human resources arena, the dilemma has always been how to get the highest quality candidates in the shortest period of time in order to provide a seamless operation of the actual health care center. One common misconception with employee placement and recruiting in any sector is that using outside assistance to find the best candidate is more costly than using internal resources. Within the Health Care Community, the perception that using a health care recruiting company is no different. While many larger recruiting services offer candidates  More...

Nursing Leadership and CNS Coaching
 
How many of you thought of your child's sports team when you read this title? Well, I'm here to tell you, coaching isn't limited to sports. Coaching is for everyone in whatever role we are residing in the moment. As nurses, do we think of ourselves as needing coaching? I know initially I didn't. Over my 35 years as a nurse, I have held many positions from staff nurse to director of nursing. I have had a number of individuals I considered mentors, but it wasn't until I was in a director position that I was able to have a personal coach, someone that had the time and skills to help me navigate the complex environment known as healthcare.
All too often, coaching is thought to be for the executive level staff. But what about those individuals that don't occupy space in the "C" suite? What about the individuals that need support/guidance in their position. I'm thinking about those roles that are considered "support" roles, such as the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS). More...
We at Melnic Consulting Group would like to thank you for taking the time to survey the amazing service available to you to help you fill your pediatric jobs.
