General Workforce Shortage: Many employers are having difficulty filling positions, particularly for LPNs, advanced practice and specialty, and clinical lab careers.
"I hire a lot of LPNs." | Northeast |
"Trying to recruit them to a very small hospital, in a very small town, it's difficult because it's not very glamorous. It's pretty basic work. I think that's where it takes a little more finesse. And I think creating those kinds of relationships ahead of time, or maybe getting some of your own people to go back to school and paying for that, or whatever you might need to do. Because, if you want to have a balance of medical technologists and medical lab technicians, MLT versus the four-year, that can be a little bit hard to maintain." | Northeast |
"For us, we need the CNAs for our hospice care. Our service area is northern Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota. The requirements to work in Wisconsin are different and require more hours than in Minnesota. So, we can't hire anybody from Wisconsin, unless they go back to school to get those extra hours. The transferability between Wisconsin and Minnesota is not possible with CNAs right now because of their requirements. Question: And that's created a shortage? Employer: Yes. Because we can't hire aides unless they can work in both states." |
