How many nurses are at work today
Nurses’ educational background
Diversity of the nursing population
Nurse employment trends
Size of the nursing gap now and in the future
and more..
The information is presented in a fact sheet and several slides on a site from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that will be updated periodically to incorporate new government employment data and projections.
Moving from bedside nursing into case management, utilization review, quality, appeals or other non-bedside nursing jobs may have quite an impact on your health. The transition from being on your feet all day to a desk job can be significant for some nurses.
This CNN Health article offers advice to help you combat the aches and pains that come with moving to a desk job.
Comprehensive List of Nurse Salary Information from Various Sources
Regardless of your profession, title, employment status or job function, it is human nature to be curious as to how your salary ranks against that of your peers.
For nurses, there are a wide variety of resources and surveys to draw from in evaluating nursing salaries across the nation. The following is a comprehensive list of resources for you to evaluate your salary as a nursing professional.
One note of caution — as you search through these resources you may find discrepancies in the results. This is not to say that one survey is more accurate than another, it simply suggests that the data was collected or interpreted differently from source to source. Therefore, it is important to take note of how the salary information is collected and interpreted when you evaluate your nursing salary against the benchmarks.
There are also many online salary calculators that allow you to search on registered nurse, case management and non-clinical nursing salary information for your specific region and experience.
Here’s what non bedside and non clinical nurses are searching for on Google when they need help advancing their careers. What are you searching for? Share your thoughts with us.
Q: I recently went on an interview that took several hours and I met with quite a few people. The hiring manager was great and at the end she said it was a really good interview and I would hear back from someone in a week. It has been 11 days and there has been no news, no phone call and no email. They treated me as if they were going to select me for the position, but I’ve heard nothing. What should I do? – Concerned Candidate
A: There are many reasons the hiring process can slow down that have nothing to do with your candidacy for the position. Decision makers may get sick and be out of the office, bad weather may have caused scheduling conflicts with human resources; there is a laundry list of possibilities that you may never be privy to. No matter what the reason, it is important is that you follow-up with the employer to remind them of your interest in the position.
My advice would be to call the person you interviewed with to follow-up and most importantly confirm your interest in the position. If you get the contact’s voice mail, don’t be afraid to leave a message and possibly follow-up with an email as well. When you speak or write to the hiring manager don’t forget to reiterate why you are a fit for the job and what makes you stand out from the pack. They will appreciate the follow-up.
