1. Although the candidate has past work experience in other industries, it is unlikely that he or she would be able to handle a charge nurse position as an inexperienced nurse. An inexperienced nurse must learn the work environment before performing in a leadership role.
2. The candidate will probably perform the job to some degree but likely does not have sufficient nursing experience to do the job well.
3. The candidate will apply his or her previous work experience because it brings knowledge to the job.
4. How long a candidate will retain a position is uncertain, no matter what his or her qualifications and past work experience.
