84% of US hospitals have a medical
staffing shortage. Most healthcare organizations have large vacancy levels,
and it will only get worse over the next 20 years. The American Hospital
Association has estimated the average RN vacancy rate of 13%.
Our demand for nurses is exponentially greater than our ability to train new
nurses, even with all of the new initiatives launched in recent years.
According to the American Hospital Association: "Hospitals face a severe
shortage of workers that threatens their ability to meet community needs. It is
a long-term shortage that is much broader and more severe than the periodic
shortages that have been experienced at various times over the past four
decades."
Even with the influx of new nursing students we will still have a huge
shortage and “It's a different type of shortage. There's too many new grads
now,” with shortages today in experienced nurses able to handle
high-skill areas such as kidney dialysis, surgery and intensive care units.
Unfortunately, hospitals have begun increasingly using the services of
traveling nurses to make up for
their low staffing levels.
Using traveling nurses
only is like putting band aids on bullet wounds, it isn't a feasible
solution. Your staff is probably resentful that they are being paid less than
traveling nurses. They may even be leaving you already to be a traveling
nurse. You are sending the wrong signals to your current RN staff if you want
to retain them. If you are an HR professional and interested in keeping
your job, you need to put an end to this ASAP!
Traveling nurses, registries and nurse temp medical staffing agencies are a very
expensive short term solution that decreases your profitability, retention,
staff morale, and ability to deliver the highest quality of care.
Are you using mandatory overtime to solve your low
staffing levels? If you are, your not only burning out your nurses, you're
burning up your budget. Time and a half is an expensive proposition,
so is nurse turnover from burnout.
According to AONE
analysis "the nation's hospitals are spending nearly $50,000 per RN in visible
or invisible turnover costs per year."
The true total costs of turnover are
$42,000 per medical/ surgical RN and $64,000 per specialty nurse.
