Abstract
Widening the access to higher education as a response to the global shortage of health
care workers necessitates a framework to recruit quality students for professions in the
health sciences. The aim is to describe the development of a framework to aid with the
recruitment of nursing students, but can also be utilised in the wider higher-education
community. A multi-phased, descriptive, explorative and sequential multi-method
research design, using an adapted version of the process planning model by Zuber- Skerritt, was utilised. National and international nurse educators participated in the
study. The challenges identified and confirmed during three phases were interpreted
and a generic framework for student recruitment was developed. This recruitment
framework was validated. The article notes that the recruitment framework can be
adjusted, implemented, evaluated and reviewed by different institutions in order to
customise such framework to their own particular contexts
