Healthcare Candidate Shortage
The shortage of nurses has been well documented by the media. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 233,000 additional jobs for registered nurses will open each year through 2016, in addition to about 2.5 million existing positions. However, only about 200,000 candidates passed the Registered Nurse licensing exam last year. The health care industry is also experiencing a similar shortage of primary care physicians, physical therapists, and pharmacists. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics website reports that health care is expected to generate 3 million new jobs between 2006 and 2016, more than any other industry. Seven of the twenty fastest growing occupations are health care related. Finding qualified, available healthcare candidates is certainly a challenge for most organizations. Career Transitions is prepared to help with this process. We are currently supplying a variety of medical and health care candidates throughout the region-including nurses, physicians, specialists, and technologists. Please let us know how Career Transitions can help your organization with healthcare hiring needs.
