Abstract
The 'No Strings Attached' nursing recruitment initiative was designed to give nurses who were not in the workforce the opportunity to make an informed decision if they would like to seek employment. Nurses were offered a group learning experience in a supportive environment. The first two days was facilitated by the NSW College of Nursing and focused on “Emotional Intelligence”. The third day was an orientation to the Greater Western Area Health Service and education and information on re-entry into the workforce.
The program was convened in school hours. Fourteen nurses from the Castlereagh Cluster participated in the course and so far seven have enrolled to complete a re-entry course called "Return to Rural and Remote Nursing".
