The value of just one nurse
Elevate your community and your healthcare facility.
Bringing education and training programs to your hospital or healthcare system does more than move you towards being fully staffed and retaining top talent. It’s also a great way to break down economic and educational barriers within the communities you serve.

Training and hiring locally makes healthcare more accessible.
Rural areas have fewer healthcare workers per capita, which means healthcare organizations outside of major metropolitan areas are affected even more significantly by the shortage of skilled health professionals.
By bringing on-site training and education directly to healthcare systems and hospitals of all sizes, Unitek Learning’s School-in-a-Box program is addressing the nursing shortage while making it easier for people to access the competent, compassionate care they need.

UNDERSTANDING THE NURSING SHORTAGE
The demand for healthcare services is higher than ever, and is only projected to increase in the coming years. However, due to a myriad of factors, the number of healthcare professionals in the workforce is falling behind demand, causing issues for hospitals and healthcare systems around the world.

What are the factors causing the current Nursing shortage?
Nurses are chronically overworked
When it comes to healthcare workers, staffing shortages can easily become a vicious cycle. Too few people on staff leads to too many hours for current employees, which leads to burnout and eventually turnover—thus worsening the nursing shortage even further.
Nurses, and the patients they treat, are aging.
According to the 2020 National Nursing Workforce Survey, the average age for RNs is 52 years old. For LVNs/LPNs, it’s 53 years old. That means many nurses and other health workers are nearing retirement age, right as demand for healthcare services is projected to spike significantly.
Nurses are hungry for new opportunities.
Nobody wants to feel stuck in their career journey. The NSI’s most recent Retention and Staffing Report identifies career advancement as one of the top reasons nurses move on to new jobs. Many nurses feel as though they have to move to bigger markets to find the growth opportunities they’re seeking.
In 2021 alone, staffing shortages cost the average hospital $7.1 million.*
