�Welcome,� said St. Peter. �Because you have done a lot nice for others the higher powers that be are going to let you spend both a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then let you select where you would like to spend the eternities in.

They aren�t recruiting physicians to work in our hospitals, they are asking families to come be an element of our community. Explore this weblog, apply the skills they share, and always give us your feedback and personal tales. They are all in this to learn together. Perhaps extreme, the following joke helps illustrate the importance of being genuine in the work of all phases of the recruitment technique:

 day while running down the street a highly successful doctor was tragically hit by a bus and died. His soul arrived up in heaven where he was met at the pearly gates by St. Peter himself.

Next, St. Peter and the doctor descended in an elevator down, down, down to hell.

The doors opened and the doctor found himself stepping out onto the putting green of a stunning golf work. Lots of of his friends - fellow physicians, nurses, and administrators whom he had worked with greeted him. Everyone was dressed up nicely and was cheering for him.

He also met the Devil who was actually a lovely man and a killer golfer. They had fun exchanging jokes and tales. The day flew by and before he knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook his hand and waved goodbye as he got on the elevator. The elevator went up, up, up back to the pearly gates where St. Peter again greeted him.

They held a party for him and talked about elderly times. They played an excellent round of golf and in the evening enjoyed a brilliant steak and lobster dinner in the country club.

�So, you have spent a day both in Hell and in Heaven. Now you must select your eternity,� he said.

�Now it�s time to spend a day in Heaven,� he said. So the doctor spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. He had fun and before he knew it the day had passed and St. Peter came and got him.

So St. Peter escorted him to the elevator and again they went down, down, down to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened he found himself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in rubbish and filth.

The doctor paused for a second and then replied, �Well, I never thought I�d say this, I mean, Heaven has been great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell.�

�I don�t understand,� stammered the doctor, �yesterday I was here and there was a golf work and a country club and they ate lobster and they danced and had fun. Now all I see is a wasteland of rubbish and everybody looks miserable.�

His friends were all wearing rags and were picking up the rubbish and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to him and put his arm around him.

The Devil looked at him and smiled. �Yesterday they were recruiting you. Today, you�re STAFF.�
