Did you know?
Do Health Exchange policies Change the Game for Full-Time Nurses?

 

by Megen Duffy

For:  http://onlinelpntorn.org 

 

It just occurred to me that the new health exchange insurance policies could change the nursing career marketplace and give nurses a lot of new employment options: we can play job Tetris. Why? Read on.

 

Before the individual policies were available, nurses without spouses or another source of health insurance were bound to full-time work with benefits unless they opted to live dangerously.

Study pinpoints issues that leave ED nurses vulnerable
   
A qualitative study on assaults on emergency nurses, sponsored by the Emergency Nurses Association, found a need to change the culture of acceptance that is prevalent among hospital administrators and law enforcement.

Better training to help nurses recognize signs of potential trouble also is key, according to researchers, whose study was published Jan. 17 on the website of the Journal of Emergency Nursing.

"Assaults on emergency nurses have lasting impacts on the nurses and the ability of emergency care facilities to provide quality care," 2014 ENA President Deena Brecher, RN, MSN, APN, ACNS-BC, CEN, CPEN, said in a news release.

 


Health Care Ranks High and Often on
'Best Jobs' List
  
Nearly 40 percent of the country's 100 most promising employment opportunities are in health care, according to the Best Jobs of 2014 list recently published by U.S. News & World Report.

Although the health care sector dominates the list, it did lose the No. 1 spot (to technology) for the first time since U.S. News launched the annual rankings in 2012. The top 10 jobs include dentist (at No. 3), nurse practitioner (4), pharmacist (5), registered nurse (6), physical therapist (7), physician (8), and dental hygienist (10).

 

Other health care jobs on the list include occupational therapist, phlebotomist, physical therapy assistant, diagnostic medical sonographer, respiratory therapist, licensed practical and licensed vocational nurse, optician, home health aide, and paramedic.

 

U.S. News describes its methodology as starting with U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data on jobs with the highest projected number of openings from 2012 to 2022. The publication also looks at factors such as advancement opportunity, salary, work-life balance, and job security.
