Hospital Careers

Find hospital jobs on www.jobjobhealth.com/lp-hospital-jobs.html

Hospitals offer healthcare workers rewarding employment at large-scale facilities dedicated to serving the medical needs of a community. As an important source of medical jobs, hospitals remain a significant employer and career destination for healthcare workers. Hospitals are often some of the largest private employers in a community, requiring hundreds of medical workers to maintain a desired level of patient care. Hospital employees frequently have the benefit of caring for patients in a highly collaborative, stimulating work environment.
Hospitals employ a diverse group of medical workers to provide complete and professional in-house patient care. Hospitals deal with all types of major medical, surgical and diagnostic treatments and require a trained, experienced medical staff to support those areas, especially for care involving overnight stays. Healthcare jobs found in hospital settings include those in pharmacy, respiratory, anesthesiology, physical therapy, nursing, emergency, surgery, oncology, laboratory, X-ray and administration. The wide variety of employment at hospitals gives employees exposure to different medical career paths as they go about their workday.
Hospital jobs provide excellent salaries and benefits. With hospitals generally compensating physicians better than private practice, many prefer to work in hospital settings. Employment at hospitals offer physicians many advantages over private practice with not only better pay, but also income guarantees, flexible work hours, and higher bonuses. The median compensation for primary-care specialists is also expected to continue increasing. The benefits of working at hospitals are a strong draw for medical workers.
Physicians with specialized training are employed at hospitals to deal with specific medical issues. Hospital jobs available to physicians may be one of the following: Anesthetist, Cardiologist, Endocrinologist, Epidemiologist, General practitioners, Gynecologist, Immunologist, Neurologist, Nutritionist, Oncologist, Ophthalmologist, Pathologist, Psychiatrist, Pediatrician, and Radiologist. Hospital ties to local universities make them a center for educational training enabling healthcare workers to further their certification.

Is a heathcare career for you?

When deciding what you want to be when you grow up, which can apply to anyone that is considering a career change or 3 or 4, it is good to make an assessment of your skills/talents, interests, work style, how well do you handle stress, are you happy being a workaholic (yes, some people are) and what are your economic needs and how to they line up with your need to make the word a better place.
There are common denominators when considering jobs in health care or more specifically healthcare careers. To have a successful career in health care one must first have a strong inherent urge to contribute to making the world a better place; to improve the quality of life for those with medical and psychological challenges.
When considering a medical career one needs to have a flexible mind-set and thrive on the unpredictable. If you are most comfortable knowing that when you go to work what exactly you will be tackling, at what time and want limited social interaction with co-workers perhaps the somewhat chaotic work in healthcare may not be for you. Team work with multiple co-workers is imperative for successful patient outcomes-extroverted personalities seem to thrive in this environment.;
While working some of the hours required in a hospital environment may considered a hardship for some, the scheduling flexibility can be perfect for some. For instance, nurses with young families like working the off shifts and weekends because child care is available. If you are a person who absolutely must have evenings and weekends off, a nursing position might not work for you. http://www.jobjobhealth.com/k-nurse-jobs.html
Two factors that are considered a plus for those working in healthcare are the job security, or as secure as you can get these days, and a very adequate hourly wage or salary. http://www.jobjobhealth.com/salary-charts-calculator.html Healthcare Administrators, Advanced Practice Nurses, Physical Therapists, Scientists, Clinical Research Associates and well as a variety of Physician specialties all receive generous compensation for their work as a few examples. If you thrive on stress and challenges, enjoy working as a team member in a somewhat unpredictable environment and have a strong urge to help others, working in health care may be for you.

How can nurses use social media to search jobs

A recent survey by AMN Healthcare shows that health care professionals are using social media for career development and nurses are the number users of social media for career growth.
An article published in healthcareITnews.com, states a “survey was conducted by AMN Healthcare, which bills itself as the nation’s largest healthcare staffing and workforce solutions company. AMN Healthcare’s “2010 Social Media Survey of Healthcare Professionals” was designed to provide healthcare employers and leaders a snapshot of how healthcare professionals are currently using social media and other online applications for networking, job hunting and other career development activities. The survey, which was conducted this fall, received 1,248 responses. “
Some interesting stats:
• Thirty-eight percent of clinicians surveyed are currently seeking employment, and 12 percent of current job seekers have been looking for more than a year.
• Nurses have had a significantly shorter job search than their fellow professionals, averaging three months, compared to just less than seven months for physicians and allied professionals, and nine months for pharmacists.
• Thirty-seven percent of clinicians reported using social media for professional networking; nurses had the highest use among healthcare workers at 41 percent to search for nurse jobs.
• Ten percent of healthcare professionals are using mobile job alerts to find the latest hot jobs, but only 3 percent have received an interview, 2 percent have received a job offer and 1 percent secured a new job.
• Physicians are by far the heaviest users of mobile devices for professional reasons among their medical colleagues; 37 percent used healthcare-related applications and 17 percent used mobile devices for healthcare-related content or jobs.

• Sixty-four percent of the clinicians surveyed would choose Facebook, the clear favorite, if they could choose only one social networking site for employement.
Also interesting is the survey found “that traditional methods of recruitment such as referrals, online job boards and search engines are not being superseded by social media, whereas social media does surpass other job search methods such as newspaper ads, career fairs and other methods.” Good news for those of us that have developed job search engines.

Calling all IT professionals for a career in health care

With the switch to EMR (Electronic Medical records), the demand for experienced health care IT specialists and specifically Clinical Informatics specialists is growing at a tremendous rate. Any business owner that contracts IT professionals knows that finding talented programmers and retaining them can be a challenge in such a high demand area. Clinical informatics specialist positions are relatively new so competition among medical employers for experienced professionals in this area can be fierce.
Bernie Monegain over at HealthcareITnews.com has written an interesting post highlighting the competition in this growing area by healthcare employers for talented IT specialists. http://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/clinical-it-professionals-hard-find A recent study by the Hay Group has found that healthcare companies are growing their EMR programs at a rapid rate in response to the American Recovery Acts. The study points out that many healthcare organizations have formed clinical informatics positions without the needed structure due in part to “lack of benchmark data and understanding of best practices”. This is not surprising given the rapid growth in this area and the need to” learn and you go” in an area as new as clinical informatics.
As with any specialty in health care that is relatively new –most often driven by new technology- health care IT is now an area of tremendous job growth. Experienced Health IT specialist can “call the shots” (for now anyway) as we have seen in other areas of health care where demand in high and supply is low. This again shows that the health care industry is an area of tremendous opportunity not only for direct care providers but for those behind the scenes that improve efficiency and help to provide better patient outcomes.
