It's interesting to see what comes across my digital desk. One of the Nursing Job Sites listed in my article this week sent a general announcement to my inbox here at Suite. This lead to this week's article. What I did not expect to find was the same amount of scammers in what I view as a high profession.
Often, I hear there is a nursing shortage. Whenever I hear there's a shortage of any kind of job, my radar sounds. WHY is there a shortage? What's wrong with the job? Is it pay? Lousy hours? Lousy working conditions? Or is a shortage due to people being steered away from that type of work in lieu of something considered more lucrative (or cooler to the younger generation).
There are shortages in many industries. The trades have fallen - although well paid jobs, often students looking into a profession view these jobs as somehow not as good as getting an MBA, or a law degree, or being a Doctor, or even working in programming.
The next few years will really tell us what to expect. Hopefully there will be a levelling of wanted jobs and open jobs.
