"[The new mobile program is] an opportunity for nurses who are interested in joining AHN's community of nursing in a unique way with competitive wages, excellent benefits, and the flexibility of practice at different AHN hospitals." — Claire Zangerle, DNP, RN, FAAN, chief nurse executive, Allegheny Health Network

A new mobile internal staffing model at Allegheny Health Network (AHN) called Work Your Way will reduce the health system’s reliance on contracted agency nurses while providing their employees with a flexible work option.

For this week's lead story, I spoke with Claire Zangerle, DNP, RN, FAAN, Allegheny Health's chief nurse executive, about how Work Your Way is expected to attract nurses who permanently left the health system for travel work, new nurses, and current travel nurses.
