While the doctor’s name is usually on the practice, a private practice in Georgia is made up of many more individuals. RNs, LPNs, and CNAs are often the ones who provide the backbone of the practice. Your nursing staff is the driving force that keeps your patients happy and coming back. The right nursing staff underscores the confidence of the entire practice. That’s why it’s so very important that your Georgia private practice finds the right RNs, LPNs, and CNAs.
But where do you go to find these quality nurses, especially in a time of nursing shortages? In Georgia, private practices have a few choices for recruiting and hiring candidates. Here are some of the ways Georgia private practices find RNS, LPNs, and CNAs.
Online Job Boards
Whether you utilize a healthcare career-specific online job board (such as nurse-specific boards) or a general site (Indeed or LinkedIn, for example), advertising on a job board or finding a match via online job sites is one way to find the nursing staff you need. You’ll likely get a few potential candidates by utilizing this source. You’ll still need to interview and vet the applicants yourself, however.
Professional Nursing Organizations
Many nursing schools and programs refer their graduates to professional associations as a way to find work and keep up with current trends in their chosen profession of nursing. Here are the top professional organizations and associations you can use to find nursing staff in Georgia:
- Georgia Nurses Association: The GNA offers a job posting service to a large variety of nursing professionals.
- Georgia LPN Association: The GLPNA supports LPNs throughout the state. You can post your open position through the CLPNA.
- National Association of Healthcare Assistants: This is a national source for CNAs looking for job support and available work. While it is a national organization there are local chapters and your job posting goes out to those who may wish to relocate.
Georgia Nursing Schools
Partner with local certification programs through community colleges, state colleges, and universities. Attend their job fairs and advertise in their alumni publications. You may even participate in some of their clinical and preceptor programs and work with nursing students who could become permanent staff upon graduation.
Local Groups on Social Media
Love it or hate it, social media is a sure way to find an audience of nurses for future candidates. Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn have local Georgia nursing forums where you can advertise your staff needs. Use social media to your advantage. Create your own professional page for your private practice and link to these organizations when you have a position to fill.
State Resources
Through specific resources like the Georgia Department of Labor or Workforce, Georgia connects private practices with eligible candidates. Workforce Georgia works with healthcare staff such as RNs, LPNs, and CNAs who are looking for employment.
