Indiana’s airwaves are being saturated with ads featuring Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) promoting his right to work for less legislation that Republican lawmakers are trying to ram through the legislature. But Daniels continues to refuse to reveal who is bankrolling the media barrage.

Eternally Stagnant Recruitment and Some Ideas to Overcome It
Recruiting never seems to change very much. As I have often written, even with computers, smart phones, cheap video, big bandwidth, and years of accumulated experience, the way we look for people and select them looks very much the same as it looked 50 years ago.
The question is: why haven’t these tools and technologies made any significant difference?

Patients can seek medical examination and treatment from these professionals in their clinics. In states where the law prohibits practitioners from practicing independent of physicians, they work as employees in the physician’s clinics and can offer treatment and prescriptions under the physician’s guidance.
Nurse practitioners diversify their operations and can function as therapists in different conditions. They are preferred in therapeutic treatments since they can combine treatment and therapy services.
