Bountiful, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/17/2021 -- Technology Is an Integral Player for the Future of Nurse Staffing

In spite of a global pandemic adversely impacting the economy in many regions and industries, the healthcare staffing industry is booming, and technology is driving clinician staffing industry trends.

The reports Healthcare Staffing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Service Type (Travel Nurse, Per Diem Nurse, Locum Tenens, Allied Healthcare), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2020 – 2027, and The Healthcare Staffing Market Forecast to 2028 are out, and the results are in:

The global healthcare staffing market size was valued at USD 31.8 billion in 2019 and will increase through to the year 2027.

- The supply and demand relationship of healthcare workers is severely strained.

- Healthcare staffing solutions must utilize technology for recruitment.

- Technology is driving growth in the healthcare staffing industry.

As we move forward in the wake of COVID-19, healthcare systems big and small continue to struggle with the grim reality of healthcare staffing shortages. While the demand for staff continues to rise, the shortages persist, and as such, recruitment and staffing remain fixed priorities for HR departments and recruiters. Consequently, it should be no surprise to learn that the healthcare IT industry is projected to grow as more healthcare systems both large and small search for healthcare staffing solutions.

According to the Healthcare Staffing Market Forecast to 2028 Report, "North America is expected to contribute to the largest share in the healthcare staffing market in the coming years, owing to strategic decisions undertaken by market players in the region as well as the presence of major players in the market". This report provides in-depth analyses of global market dynamics including supply and demand, and major company profiles, and market strategies and focuses on healthcare IT to a global level.

Alternatively, Healthcare Staffing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2020 – 2027 focused their analysis on temporary healthcare clinician types. Their data and statistics follow travel nurse staffing, per diem nurse staffing, locum tenens staffing, and allied healthcare staffing. Similar to the Healthcare Staffing Market Forecast to 2028 Report, this report also forecasts that North America will dominate the global healthcare staffing market share. According to the report:

"Increasing awareness regarding the benefits of temporary staffing, job-related perks, and availability of opportunities across the country are some of the factors contributing to market growth."

Recruitment strategies utilizing social media are anticipated to expand. Because the demand outweighs the supply (available workforce), employers will seek to engage and attract potential employees by more emphasis on virtual networking. Branding will be yet another strategy increasingly implemented with social media. Young professionals consider their work an extension of their identity, and with so many options available, they can be thoughtful about their job environment.

PRN staffing solutions are changing with technology as well. Short-term, short-notice PRN clinicians such as registered nurses (RNs), certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and other certified healthcare workers can be found by using a PRN staffing smartphone application.

PRN staffing apps revolutionize the way facilities can meet urgent staffing needs, by allowing facilities to access a wider net of potential clinicians than previously thought possible. Medical professionals can browse hundreds of available shifts nearby and select a PRN shift that fits into their schedule. Facilities can post and fill their shifts without making multiple phone calls to several different agencies.

Overall, the reports provide detailed information for everyone in the healthcare industry to understand how the market growth is influenced and learn about marketing strategies by studying the analyses of key players in the industry. Recruitment strategies and solutions that incorporate technology have become necessary in today's world for healthcare facilities to address staffing issues.

Hospitals never close. Why? Quite simply, they can‘t. At least, that is the expectation placed on healthcare systems. Besides, where else would people go to receive the emergency medical attention they need? Especially, during times of a crisis, like the weather events that result in massive amounts of snow.

Bountiful, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/12/2021 -- Hospitals never close. Why? Quite simply, they can't. At least, that is the expectation placed on healthcare systems. Besides, where else would people go to receive the emergency medical attention they need? Especially, during times of a crisis, like the weather events that result in massive amounts of snow.

It's been widely covered in the media about how Texas and other southern states in the U.S. were surprised and ambushed by brutal winter snowstorms. We know people are without water, without electricity, and are struggling. Amidst all the media coverage, however, we've seen some impressive and inspiring stories about nurses and healthcare workers who are doing whatever it takes to get to work so that their patients can be cared for, and their coworkers can get a break.

Whether these nurses and other healthcare workers are receiving crisis response pay for the work they are doing, they are certainly taking on the role with grace. We appreciate these unsung heroes and want to share some of their stories.

Crisis Response Nurses In Austin, Texas 
Reports of nurses in Austin walking in freezing temperatures through the snow to get to work came into KHOU 11, a TV station in Texas. One nurse, Brooke Wilson who is a nurse in the Labor and Delivery Unit at the St David's Women's Center of Texas is one of those nurses.

"I bundled up and I put on my boots and I changed my shoes and I already packed a bag thinking I was going to be staying here for a while. So, I packed a bag and I headed out and I started walking."

She also said that she was concerned about the patients and her coworkers and that baby's come when it's their time no matter the weather.

"Babies aren't waiting for anybody, but there's emergencies happening all the time. So, we have great people all over the hospital that are helping keep things going. I didn't want to let them (her coworkers) down. I didn't want people to be spread thin. That's not safe for patients. It's not safe for us. It's much more emotionally draining if on have to take on a higher patient load just out of necessity because of the emergency situation that we're in."

Amy Belknap, an oncology nurse manager at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin reported walking to work in the frigid conditions almost a mile from her home. She further reported another colleague having walked two hours in the snow to get to work, while another who lives close to the hospital came in on her day off. Belknap further stated,

"I have slept for two hours, but I am not unique in this situation," she said. "We've been rotating staff so that we can give everybody breaks and take turns. And I'm really proud of the team up here. We have just been looking out for each other and helping each other out throughout this very unusual time."

Crisis Response Nurses in Lewisburg, Tennessee
In Lewisburg, long-term care facility administrator for NHC Derrick Scott has been dedicated to patients and employees alike. He's been braving the snow and icy roads to pick up and take nurses and healthcare employees to several different senior centers. As of Friday, February 19th, he's driven over 1,000 miles and given rides to more than 60 staff, and when a food truck couldn't get to the facility, he went and got the food loaded into his truck to deliver it. 

Crisis Nurses Working Jobs in Nashville, Tennessee
For nurses in Nashville who need help to get to work, Jack Jones and a group of volunteers have been giving rides to nurses. He reports nurses sleeping on floors at the hospitals if they can sleep at all due to the workload.

Nurses Wesley Greene and Tiffani Jones who work at Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown report positive feelings about how their group is handling the difficult conditions. Nurse Greene stated that she's been driving her husband's vehicle that has four-wheel drive and is giving rides to coworkers.

"I have my husband's 4×4 truck. We've all just done a great job of taking care of each other, and it really is like a family. It's amazing to see how dedicated the healthcare workers are, I think that we've seen that over the last year with the pandemic and everything that we've gone through."

Nurse Jones indicated that management staff are helping out as well,

"It's been really awesome. On our calls every morning that we do, we're just getting names of people who need help, and everyone's pitching in. And it's been really cool to see the higher-ups come together and get out there, and help people too."

No Snow Days for Nurses
This isn't the first time a winter storm has made it difficult for nurses to get to work. But it does perhaps bring light to the value of being prepared. Schools can close for snow days, and other occupations can perhaps work from home on a snow day, but nurses are essential. In the past, there have been quick viral stories about a nurse skiing into work, or a nurse driving a plow truck to clear the road along the way.

One's position as a nurse also makes one a trusted source of information to their patients. Talk to them about wearing layers, and how the air between layers will help serve as an insulator. Encourage them to do things outside in pairs when possible instead of alone. Explain how moving faster isn't the way to go in the cold because they can overexert themselves quickly; slow and steady with frequent breaks are better. 

Put blankets and flashlights in the car. For some these tips may seem too little too late, however, moving forward they could save a life. One should be mindful of their patients with heart disease or diabetes and their medications. Remember, some medications for those conditions can predispose a person to hypothermia. While they're conducting some patient education, be sure to make a note of these things for oneself as well. 

PRN Nursing Shifts for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs Available Now
Our system shows PRN shifts that are available now in real-time. This storm has hit hospitals and facilities hard and while some nurses can find rides or trudge through the snow, staffing is a concern. If one can safely get themselves to work, browse our postings and see what facility near where they are is in need.

Registered Nurses In Demand Heading Into a 2020 COVID Winter

Bountiful, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/18/2020 -- While the public health sector is an employer of registered nurses (RNs), the jobs that are available in that setting are typically more competitive and they just don't have a high number of positions to fill when compared to other nursing employers such as skilled nursing facilities, long term care facilities, or hospitals. However, as some begin the descent into winter not only do the healthcare sectors have concerns about the influenza season, the concern about the steadily rising numbers of COVID cases has some health departments opting to hire more public health nurses.

Jackson County, Florida for example is looking to hire more nurses in public health. Their goal is to have registered nurses working on contact tracing and case investigations. According to Jackson County officials, some of their nurses who are working their COVID response are averaging around 35 hours of overtime for each pay period.

CNAs, and LPNs Work the Winter with High Paying PRN and Travel Jobs

It's not just registered nurses who are in demand. Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are needed as well. 2020 was scheduled by the World Health Organization and nursing advocacy groups worldwide to be the Year of the Nurse, and while it certainly hasn't been the year of the nurse they had planned, it's certainly been a year for nurses and nursing assistants to be more visible in the media than they've ever been perhaps, or at least since Florence Nightingale began testing society's acceptable behavior expectations for women so long ago.

Nura has written a lot about how important CNA's are to the healthcare industry, and how PRN work offers CNAs the opportunity for more career growth and higher income potential, and just as it has been seen with RNs, the LPN and CNA opportunities are diverse, highly paid, and exciting. This link is to a CNA job posting for four shifts a week in Hawaii for a period of 16 weeks and an income potential for the contract of over $19,000. In 2019, the median annual wage for a CNA was $29,660 (according to the Department of Labor and Statistics.)

Our Nursa (TM) CNAs in Utah are seeing job postings for over $25 an hour, while the national average hourly wage in 2019 was just over $14. While our licensed practical nurses in Idaho are finding jobs at over $35 an hour in Idaho, and even over $40 an hour in parts of Utah.

One Louisiana University's Answer to the Nursing Shortage
Supply and demand are two correlated factors that all subconsciously understand to at least a limited degree. It is related to one of the reasons the market is seeing such impressive income potential for our PRN nurses and assistances currently, because of the nursing shortage.

One University in Louisiana has teamed up with a health system and intends to start offering its very own four-year nursing degree program. The benefit to Loyola University by teaming up with Ochsner Health is that their nursing students won't have to be on waiting lists for their clinical placements.

Contradictorily to the fact of nursing shortages, there aren't enough placement opportunities for the students. Universities partnering up in this way to ensure their students have placement opportunities immediately so as not to delay their education and entrance into the workforce that needs them so badly would be a welcome trend to see.

Nurses Need Care Even As They Provide Care
In April, a major advocacy group in England conducted a survey of almost 1,200 nurses and got results that almost 75% of surveyed nurses said that their job was negatively impacting their lives even more so than usual, because of COVID. For most of our readers, that type of result likely isn't a surprise. And yet, drawing attention to something one already knows can cause one to be more mindful about it. In England's case, they launched a mental well-being campaign and have put money and efforts into ensuring nurses' mental well-being is prioritized.

Make sure one is taking care of themselves as they work so hard to care for others. Little things one can do that can have a big impact include keeping hydrated and actually taking one's shift breaks instead of working right through them. One might not think they're at risk of burnout, but doing what one can to take care of themselves now, instead of waiting until the last moment is worthwhile.

Getting a license or certification to work in the healthcare industry is a sure way to have job security in one's future. Whether someone is a CNA, an LPN, or an RN; it is a fact that the job outlook for these professions is positive, and continues to grow.

Bountiful, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/08/2020 -- Nursa™ is prepared to fill these short-term and per diem nursing jobs using our travel nursing app which allows nurses to easily pick up local PRN nursing jobs. Currently, Nursa is staffing per diem nurses in Idaho, Utah, and other states.

Getting a license or certification to work in the healthcare industry is a sure way to have job security for one's future. Whether one is a CNA, an LPN, or an RN; it is a fact that the job outlook for these professions is positive, and continues to grow. Working PRN jobs can go further than simply give one the comfort of job security. Working PRN shifts can give power over one's own life that may not have considered previously.

What Is a PRN Nurse?
PRN is an acronym of the Latin term "pro re nata". The term itself can be translated to mean "when necessary" or "as needed". One likely has also heard "per diem". The term "per diem" means "for each day". A PRN nurse is a nurse who is willing to work on an as-needed basis or on-demand. The same applies to LPNs or CNAs who work PRN shifts.

PRN jobs or PRN shifts do not have the same routine nor the benefits of a permanent full-time staff position with a hospital or a medical center. However, working PRN jobs allow the power different from that of full-time staffers if one is inclined to utilize them to their full potential.

Let's talk more in-depth about that power and potential, but first, some quick facts.

Quick Facts
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for each of these professions has encouraging numbers:

For Registered Nurses, they report the median hourly wage as $35.24 per hour in 2019 and expected job growth at 12% through the year 2028. Similarly, Licensed Practical Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses to have an expected job growth rate of 11% through the year 2028 and had a median hourly wage of $22.83 in 2019. Certified Nurses Assistants in 2019, came in at a median hourly wage of $14.25 and have a 9% anticipated job growth rate through to 2028. 

Power of Per Diem Nursing
Now that we've established that the career field is ripe with opportunity, we'll dig right into the power of being a PRN nurse or CNA.

- One can say no. It's really that simple. When one works as a PRN, one has the power to say no to an offered PRN shift. If a teenager has a ball game Thursday night one doesn't have to apologize for missing it, nor does one have to organize a trade with a coworker that leaves a nurse pulling a double shift. All one has to do is say "no" to the Thursday night PRN shift. (Politely, of course.)

- One can make their own schedule. Working as a PRN clinician means one can arrange their work-life to fit around their personal life instead of the other way around. With Nursa TM we've made this easier than ever because we provide our clinicians access to PRN shifts at facilities all around. For example One could work shifts Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday at one facility and another shift Wednesday a neighboring facility. Thereby leaving Thursday through Saturday with time off moreover, still having clocked enough hours in the week to have a paycheck to feel good about.
A nurse can make more money. The hourly rate for PRN clinicians is normally higher than that of the permanent staffers. Facilities will pay more for per diem shifts because PRN staff usually aren't eligible for benefits such as insurance or retirement packages. When one combines the higher hourly rate and organizes one's schedule well they can make more money than others in their field.

- PRN medical professionals have been essential for combating the novel coronavirus in hotspots where hospitals were swarmed with shocking numbers in some hotspots. Before the pandemic, California is one state that has a reputation notorious for high pay PRN shifts.

- Last-minute opportunities abound. Whether it's an unexpected life expense such as a car needing some work, or a broken water heater, or kids want to learn to play the violin; there are invariably times in life when many feel a financial pinch and would be grateful for the opportunity to bump up income, even temporarily. PRN shifts can be available at the last minute. When one works with Nursa TM, we list available PRN shifts in real-time. If one feels the pinch, pick up their phone and pick up a PRN shift.

- Learn more about a (new) specialty. On a PRN shift, One may have the opportunity to learn about another specialty by floating and/or cross-training. Working in the ER may give one the opportunity to learn more about psychiatric nursing. Or perhaps one gains experience floating from the ER to the ICU.

- Let work-life ebb and flow. One doesn't have to work 40+ hours a week for the rest of their career. Work a few shifts a week, and then dive in when flu season or holiday season hits and want extra money for presents or for a cruise with their sweetums. Work hard and then back off for a while, and then ramp back up.

- Working PRN keeps a nursing license active while one explore hobbies, passions, or retirement. Working a PRN shift here and there while officially retired can be a great way to keep their skills fresh, keep a license active, and keep one being social. If one left their nursing career to explore hobbies or passion, PRN shifts are a great way to allow for exploring but keep the security of an active nursing license in their pocket without weighing themselves down.

Is Per Diem Nursing Right for Others?
Ultimately, every one of those powers to be exercised comes back to the same truth: One gets to make the decisions. If one struggles with feeling tied down, wants to pursue other passions in life, maybe the family situation is changing, or one wants to make more money; PRN shifts could be the answer one has been searching for.

Download our smartphone application today and join the NursaTM community. Create a professional portfolio that can be shared securely and directly with potential employers. We'll show one the PRN shifts available while one decides when one wants to work, and where.

COVID-19 continues its inevitable spread across the country, as states, one by one, respond to the pandemic with varying levels of restrictions. It’s during these desperate times that the demand for registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and clinical nursing assistants (CNAs) goes up. That’s where Nursa™ comes in with travel and per diem nurses to fill the gaps.

Bountiful, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/28/2020 -- Nursa™ is prepared to fill these short-term and per diem nursing jobs using our travel nursing app which allows nurses to easily pick up local PRN nursing jobs. Currently, Nursa is staffing per diem nurses in Idaho (amongst other states) healthcare facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background on COVID-19 Cases in Idaho
On March 25, 2020, the state of Idaho first responded by issuing a statewide "Stay at Home" order. The stay at home order was amended on April 2, 2020, with further restrictions with only essential operations remaining running.

As of April 9, 2020, Idaho's official government website dedicated to verified information and statistics about the coronavirus for the state reported there were 1,353 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 24 deaths. With the number of cases and fatalities on the rise, the medical community is laboring but struggling with staffing shortages that existed before the coronavirus arrived.

According to the director of Idaho Department of Health and welfare, Dave Jeppesen, hospital capacity in Idaho has not been overrun and has been able to manage the numbers of COVID-19 cases, which is good news. However, the data breakdown of the state's confirmed COVID cases shows that just over 10% of the confirmed cases are healthcare workers, further burdening medical staff.

RN, CNA, or an LPN living in the Idaho area and want to know how one can help their fellow Idaho medical community as COVID-19 cases sweep through the state, Nursa™ can help do exactly that.

What is Nursa™?
Nursa™ is an application that directly connects Idaho nurses to available shifts in hospitals, long term care facilities, skilled care nursing facilities, and other medical facilities across the state.

Nursa™ Uses Technology to Ease the Burden of Paperwork
When one downloads the Nursa™ application to a smartphone, create an account. Within the account on Nursa™, one can upload and verify licenses and certifications directly into the app for storage, allowing one to easily share it with hospitals and medical facilities. Once any skilled certifications and licenses have are verified, one can search out available PRN shifts in medical facilities nearby.

Through the Nursa™ application, when one sees a shift vacancy that is of interested, the application allows someone to apply directly to the hospital or medical facility to fill the shift. Nursa™ has been designed to allow its users to send direct messaging to the medical facility to facilitate clear and quick communication.

Nursa™ Helps Communities and Families
Licensed RN, CNA, or LP with up to date certifications and licenses but aren't currently employed due to time constraints with taking care of family, Nursa™ can help earn money shift by shift. One does not have to sign a long contract or commit to 40 hours a week. One can make arrangements with a partner or extended family to take care of the household a shift or two per week, allowing one to earn income, but on ones own terms, on their timeline, and only when it works for their family.

Long term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and hospitals across the state of Idaho have vacancies and staffing shortages. Recruitment for filling positions on a long-term basis takes time. During that time, the medical staff currently working are shouldering the burden of these vacancies. However, with Nursa™ those shift vacancies can be filled one at a time, in real-time, right now. Easing the burden on the staff in medical facilities across the state, helps not only the facilities and their staff, but the communities who need their hospitals to provide care.

Nursa™ Jobs Available in Real-Time
Nursa™ can connect nurses to jobs in real-time. If someone knows one that could work a Saturday night shift, or Wednesday day shift, the person can just take a look in the app and find what is available in their area.

Nursa™ Positioned to Help Long Term Care Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities

Long Term Care (LTCs) Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) are among the most vulnerable in the current state of affairs. As the number of healthcare workers confirmed with COVID-19 rises, the patients residing in LTCs and SNFs are increasingly at risk. Their advanced ages and underlying medical conditions already put them in the vulnerable category as Nursa know this virus is more dangerous to their population.

Other states, California, New York and Massachusetts are reporting somber stories of LTC populations being moved to other facilities due to extreme staff shortages, others being unable to accept coronavirus patients even when they have space but have such a lack of staff and supplies; all issues related to or exacerbated by the virus. These stories serve as a warning, and Nursa™ hears that warning. Nursa™ is connecting nurses to LTCs and SNFs a shift at a time to keep vulnerable populations in the environments that they know and consider their homes. Nursa™ Offers ShiftShare™ ShiftShare™ is offered only by Nursa™ and allows one to earn money, even if they cannot pick up the PRN shift.

How does Shiftshare™ Work?
When browsing PRN shifts and nursing jobs in the Nursa™ application, if one sees a shift at a nearby hospital that one can't fill, but has a friend who just might be able to fill it, one can share the shift with them! Every time that one uses Shiftshare™ and that other nurse actually fills the shift one shared with them, the finder will earn money. This clever use of technology allows us to reward nurses for being an integral part of the medical professional network. By helping hospitals and medical facilities indirectly, nurses who Shiftshare™ with Nursa™ are filling vacancies shift by shift in Idaho communities.
