It's no secret that the United States has a nursing shortage, one
that promises to grow to alarming proportions. Too many nurses
are retiring, and too few are entering the profession. To
compound the problem, within the next 5 to 10 years, over 76
million Baby
Boomers are scheduled to retire from the workforce, with
only about 44 million Generation X'ers available to pick up the
slack. This will soon place unprecedented demands for services
on a health system that is already stretched thin.
This shortage of allied healthcare professionals, especially
nurses have a created a new boom to the nursing agency, nurse registry
business, supplemental staffing agency for medical
professionals, permanent placement medical recruiter, or
starting a business in homecare and staffing pool. The medical
staffing industry will continue to grow because of the upcoming
baby boomers, and the current supply of nurses are dwindling.
The average age for nurses are in the forties, and they are not
being replaced by the new generations. Entrepreneurs have made
lucrative business in nursing agency, nursing registry, homecare
business, medical recruiter recruiting, or as independent nurse
contractor in their own field.
The time is now for entrepreneurs to start a nursing
agency,nursing
registry business, operate a homecare business, or
as a medical recruiter or just become an independent healthcare
contractor. By being an independent healthcare contractor,
you are bypassing the agency and are self employed. Healthcare
facilities are the clients. Homecare are regulated by all levels
of goverment from local to fedeal level. Homecare levels of
regulations depends on the category of service provided to
clients. Homecare services ranges from providing just companions
or the more medically needed clients such as terminally ill
clients. Homecare services can be in the form of social service,
non-medical, and medical services.
