THE FUTURE OF GRADUATE NURSE SCREENING
RECRUITERS EVALUATE GRADUATE NURSE APPLICANTS BEYOND THE RESUME

For many years the Nurse Recruitment Team had set aside 4 hours per week of uninterrupted time to talk
with our BSN Graduate Nurse applicants and our own Michigan Medicine ADN Graduate Nurse applicants.
In 2021 we implemented an on-demand virtual interview process. This has allowed the candidates to be able
to record their responses to a designated set of questions, at the time that works best for them. This new
process has not only shown a better response rate, but also provides a new resource for the hiring team to
be able to understand an applicant’s background and passion for nursing beyond the black and white of a
resume.
This year we spoke with, and successfully screened, 300 new graduate nurses. The ongoing interest in
Michigan Medicine as a destination health system for new graduate nurses across the US is evident by the
sustained response rate of interested applicants.

What constitutes a GN screening?
Each GN candidate is invited to record their responses to a set of questions. A Nurse Recruiter will then view
these video interviews and score them on the following competencies; scholastic achievement, leadership,
work/life experience, communication, professionalism and their passion for nursing.
From these interviews, the recruiters highlight the top performers and recommend those candidates to our
hiring managers for consideration.
