There is a growing nurse staffing crisis throughout Florida. A crisis that has been growing steadily since the pandemic, but was already present. A situation that is widespread throughout the nation.
Nursa's PRN staffing is the best solution for your hospital or healthcare facility in Cape Coral, Florida. Keep reading to learn why.
The State of Nurse Staffing in Florida
According to a report by the Florida Hospital Association and the Net Hospital Alliance of Florida, there will be a shortfall of nearly 60,000 nurses by 2035 throughout Florida, especially affecting the southern part of the state.
The nurse staffing shortage has greatly affected Cape Coral's hospitals and facilities. Nursa research highlighted that a majority of healthcare executives and CFOs are concerned about nurse staffing.
There are several disadvantages to a shortage of RNs (registered nurses), LPNs (licensed practical nurses), and CNAs (certified nursing assistants) in healthcare facilities and hospitals in Florida.
Some of the disadvantages of not having enough nursing staff for hospitals are:
- Not being able to meet the demand of patients admitted to hospitals and healthcare facilities, thus risking decreased patient satisfaction and reduced trust from the community.
- The additional workload on nursing staff increases stress and dissatisfaction with work and creates vulnerabilities for burnout, which can result in turnover.
- Compromised patient care as overworked nurses may make mistakes or have reduced reaction time. This causes a detriment to general quality and patient safety.
- Stressed finances due to expensive travel nurse contracts or high fees for nurse staffing agencies.
As a result of these disadvantages, many hospitals and healthcare facilities are searching for adaptable and affordable ways to address staffing challenges for both short-term and long-term needs.
Nursa PRN Staffing for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs
The next step for all healthcare facilities and hospitals in Cape Coral is to find RNs, LPNs, and CNAs to meet their needs while improving nurse retention rates within their facilities. Nurse retention means that nurses choose to stay willingly.
Nursa is a PRN staffing platform that makes it easy for facilities to overcome scheduling challenges by connecting them in real time to RNs, LPNs, and CNAs in their communities who are looking to pick up shifts.
PRN is a term in nursing and medicine that is widely used to mean "as required" and it explains clearly that when nurses are needed in a healthcare facility, they can be contracted as required.
Facility managers and schedulers can analyze their shift needs and post them to the Nursa platform for local nursing clinicians to find and request.
With Nursa, facilities can review the professional profiles of the clinicians who have requested to pick up shifts and select their preferred candidate—leaving facilities in control.
