Even in today’s job market, finding the ideal healthcare job that meets all of your needs can take a while. You may need to sift through nursing job after nursing job, interview, and discuss compensation and benefits before you finally decide. Once you begin working, you’ll need to assess whether or not the workplace environment complements your goals. There’s a lot that goes into finding that “just right” job.
When you work with a medical staffing agency, you maintain control over many of the factors that make or break a nursing job. You’ll have flexible scheduling that allows you to work when you want to work or need to work. You’ll know your compensation up front and immediately. And you’ll have an intimate knowledge of the networking opportunities that help you advance in your career as a medical professional.
Working with a medical staffing agency also helps you when you move to a new area or when you wish to restart your medical career after taking time away. Here we offer a breakdown of the top 5 benefits of working with a medical staffing agency that you won’t get from a hospital or any other healthcare organization.
1. Flexible Scheduling
There are many studies and surveys that support the idea that flexible scheduling is a top priority for nursing staff and other shift-working healthcare professionals. When your schedule is flexible enough so that you choose when you work, you are in control. Medical staffing agencies offer a wide range of both schedules and locations that healthcare can choose from and, essentially, create the best schedule to support their need for work-life balance. You also have the opportunity to take time off or adjust your schedule as needed. You won’t get that from a hospital.
2. Competitive Compensation Including Benefits
While many healthcare organizations offer competitive compensation and benefits in the current nursing shortage, you can trust a medical staffing agency to offer pay that is very often higher than that of hospitals or healthcare facilities. For more specialized positions, or to fill those healthcare jobs that are in high demand, agencies offer incentives such as sign-on bonuses. Benefits often include medical, dental, and retirement savings.
3. Professional Experience
Working with a medical staffing agency allows you to develop work experience that builds an impressive resume. You’ll gain knowledge of different protocols and practices. You’ll gain exposure to different workplace cultures as well as the diverse patient population in the different healthcare facilities in which you work. You’ll develop your skills and learn new ways of approaching patient care, which will serve you throughout your career.
Not only does working with a medical staffing agency offer you an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and skills, but you’ll also meet other medical professionals with whom you may network. Your network of healthcare professionals will become advantageous as you develop your career and move forward professionally.
4. Opportunities to Further Your Career
Medical staffing agencies support you in your career growth. They are invested in your success and, as such, afford you many opportunities to advance through training, certification, and continuing education.
