Discover Key Post-Pandemic Work Trends in Healthcare
For healthcare facilities, it’s essential to stay ahead of the curve in hiring top talent. However, even after the pandemic, facilities continue to face a new set of unique workforce challenges.
Some key trends include almost a million nurses leaving the workforce during Covid-19. As a result, the average age of both RNs and LPNs are now lower, creating new challenges in attracting a new generation of healthcare talent.
Additionally, the average salary for a clinical worker rose by almost 10% during that time — including therapists, techs and nurses.
