The Nursing Workforce Is Becoming More Diverse as Baby Boomers Retire
"We're experiencing what some call the greatest workforce shortage in history," said David Entin, CEO of Care.com .
But where are the nurses? Citing a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Entin said the shortage will affect all parts of America, regardless of population density or location.
You can complete an online RN to BSN program in your spare time, then you can work as an independent contractor for a nursing agency in your city.
Just think about it for a moment; a nurse who has an online RN to BSN degree can earn $100 per hour or more! That is not including benefits that may include paid vacation time and sick days, free CEU's every year and many other benefits.
Even so, the nursing shortage will not just affect the traditional healthcare system, but also the business world. And with the average age of nurses approaching 50, the shortage will only grow.
"It's a looming health care crisis," said Entin.
Care.com has tried to find a solution through a program they started to help people learn how to become virtual assistants or administrative assistants in any industry. They have also been working on a platform that would allow people all across America to be able to connect with each other and receive assignments from clients from all over America who are trying to find a way around the nursing shortage problem.
Public health leaders are concerned about the doctor shortage. The Association of American Medical Colleges has long projected a shortage of between 46,000 and 90,000 physicians by 2025. This is evident in emergency rooms across the country where patients often have to wait hours just to see a physician.
This has left many people arguing that the country is facing an overall nursing shortage that is causing difficulties for hospitals and other healthcare centers across America. According to an article written by Brandon Roberts on healthleadersmedia.com , the "nursing shortage has led some healthcare organizations to reconsider how they structure their workforce. The report confirms what many have believed for some time – that the nursing shortage is an industry-wide problem.
The conclusion of the RAND report also states that a nurse practitioner workforce can solve the issues facing healthcare today. The findings show that as more NP's are utilized, it will lead to better outcomes and improved health care delivery.
Employers are Looking Beyond Traditional Recruiting Methods
With recruitment becoming more challenging, employers are looking outside of traditional recruiting methods. In fact, according to a recent article on www.indeed.com , employers have been known to post jobs with fake credentials in order to attract the most qualified candidates available on the market today. With the growing demand for high-quality nurses, employers are finding that they need to look beyond traditional recruiting sources.
"The impact of the candidate shortfall is not just on recruiting. It's a fact of life in health care today," said Joyce Frieden, vice president of nursing practice and work environment at Aon Hewitt. "As we speak, nurses are leaving the industry because they don't feel supported by their organizations."
The article also went on to say that "the nurse turnover rate in the US is a staggering 91 percent per year." Whether it be from relocating or having a baby, people are just not staying in their jobs as long as they used to.
One of the best ways for a nurse to guarantee themself a high-paying job that offers career progression is to become an independent contractor with a nursing agency.
Today there is no better time for nurses to become independent contractors than right now. In fact, there is currently a high demand for qualified registered nurses (RN) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/LVN). This demand exists from hospitals, home health agencies and private medical offices throughout the U.S.
If you're ready to get started, becoming an independent contractor with a nursing agency is not that difficult at all.
Just imagine earning $100 in one hour! What good is money if it's not spent on something? (:)

Conclusion
Nursing is a noble profession and has been around for many years. It is one of the most in demand professions in America today. I for one am very proud to be a nurse, but after many years of seeing the same thing day in and day out, I felt as if something was missing in my life. As a nurse, I didn't have the freedom that other professions had to simply walk away from any problem that I may have had at work. Nurses are always on call so to speak because they must be there when you need them. Nurses do keep your families together, make sure you get better when you get sick and even help save your lives if needed.
