Rationale 3: It would not be fair to hire a nurse into this unit without providing some history.
Rationale 4: Focusing on the rest of the facility is not a fair representation of the work environment a nurse could expect on this unit.
Rationale 5: Candidates should be made aware of the problems and what is being done to correct them.

in an emergency situation.
