The War for Nurse Talent is On 🛡️ The power in nurse hiring has shifted, with a massive shortage of nurses still looming over the healthcare industry. To stay in the game, hospitals must find new ways to entice candidates, and our research shows that money might not be enough 💰 Incredible Health CEO Iman Abuzeid sat down with Becker’s Healthcare to discuss the state of the nursing industry and the results of this year's State of Nursing Survey. One major takeaway: Speed is the name of the game! Iman shared that 61% of nurses accept their first job offer, even if other offers have higher pay! According to statistics from Incredible Health, hospitals that can make offers quickly hire more often than hospitals with higher salaries and bigger brands. Her advice to hospital execs: 🖊️ Get creative! Find ways to work with a candidate. 🖊️ Stay flexible! Work on finding anywhere in the healthcare system where the candidate would be a good fit. 🖊️ Speed is your best competitive edge, but don’t forget about salary. 🖊️ Listen to your staff, and the feedback nurses are providing!
