Employer Quotes
The quotes below are from employers in this industry: Health Care
They are talking about this topic: General Skills
The quotes below are about this issue:
All employees need strong multitasking and time-management abilities as workloads and/or caseloads increase.
| "Employer 1: Back to the question of, 'In three years, which skills do you want to see people coming in with?' Another respondent mentioned the multiple morbidities. I think that if students were to get better skills while in school for managing multiple morbidities, then they would be a little more confident in their job skills when they get here. And another thing that we haven't talked about yet today is managing chaos effectively. An acute care nurse will have two to four, maybe six, patients on their care load. My nurses will have 28. That is a chaotic eight-hour shift. And if you are not able to keep all of those balls in the air you are going to go nuts. Employer 2: The ultimate multi-tasking. Employer 1: Yes. And it's really a skill. Some people do it really well, and some people can't." |

| "I have the same thing. I have a memory care unit. I have 49 apartments. That's one nurse per 49 dementia patients. It's kind of the same thing, its case management, like home health care. It's case management. You are on your own. You have to figure it out. You don't have that nurse next to you that you can ask, 'What can I do?' I can't do that when I'm case managing by myself." | Central |
