Emerging Adulthood01:27

Emerging Adulthood

Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during this...
Crossing over01:34

Crossing over

Unlike mitosis, meiosis aims for genetic diversity in its creation of haploid gametes. Dividing germ cells first begin this process in prophase I, where each chromosome—replicated in S phase—is now composed of two sister chromatids (identical copies) joined centrally.
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process called synapsis.
In order to...
Crossing Over01:30

Crossing Over

Crossing over is the exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis I. Genetic recombination gives rise to allelic diversity in the newly formed daughter cells. In humans, crossing over produces genetically distinct haploid egg and sperm cells that undergo fertilization to produce unique offspring. Before cell division starts, the germ cell’s chromosome(s) undergo duplication in the S phase of the cell cycle. As the cells enter prophase I, duplicated...

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.

Bridge rectifier01:24

Bridge rectifier

The bridge rectifier is essential in electronics for efficiently converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Comprised of four diodes configured in a bridge layout, this rectifier effectively processes both the positive and negative halves of the AC waveform, making it superior to half-wave and full-wave center-tapped rectifiers in terms of voltage regulation and output stability.
Operationally, the bridge rectifier allows current flow through two of its diodes during each...

Summary

Alumni recruitment, also known as boomerang recruitment, offers a cost-effective strategy for healthcare organizations. Rehiring former employees reduces costs and improves productivity due to easier assimilation and less onboarding time.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Human Resources
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • The healthcare industry faces intense competition for talent.
  • Effective recruitment strategies are crucial for organizational success.
  • Alumni recruitment presents a largely untapped potential in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the benefits of alumni recruitment in healthcare.
  • To present alumni recruitment as a cost-effective and successful strategy.
  • To encourage the adoption of boomerang recruitment models in healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a conceptual review of alumni recruitment principles.
  • It analyzes the business model of alumni recruitment.
  • It extrapolates existing business applications to the healthcare context.
