More…It’s no secret that the United States has a nursing shortage, one that promises to grow to alarming proportions. Too many nurses are retiring, and too few are entering the profession. To compound the problem, within the next 5 to 10 years, over 76 million Baby Boomers are scheduled to retire from the workforce, with only about 44 million Generation X’ers available to pick up the slack. This will soon place unprecedented demands for services on a health system that is already stretched thin.
This shortage of allied health care professionals, especially nurses have a created a new boom to the nursing agency registry business, supplemental staffing agency for medical professionals, permanent placement medical recruiter, or starting a business in home care and staffing pool. The medical staffing industry will continue to grow because of the upcoming baby boomers, and the current supply of nurses are dwindling. The average age for nurses are in the forties, and they are not being replaced by the new generations. Entrepreneurs have made lucrative business in nursing agency, nursing registry, home care business, medical recruiter recruiting, or as independent contractor in their own field.
We have new year again. After all the eating, shopping, and merrymaking of the holidays, take time to sit down and review your business
Here are some checklists for your review:
* Do your financials. If you are like some home business owners who don’t do their financials on a regular basis (or worse, do the financials only once a year for tax time) now is the time to start doing your profit and loss statements, etc. Get a clear picture of how well you did with your business by determining your actual income and expenses for the year
* Analyze your financials — where is your revenue coming from, what are your biggest cost items, who are your biggest customers.
* Make a list of what worked — and what did not work — for you this year. Look closely at your products and see which ones are doing well, or which ones you’ve seen decline this year. How about your suppliers? Or your processes? If you have a website, what type of product or content does your visitor want?
* Review your marketing. What strategies brought the most customers? What is the most cost effective strategies? Are there ways you can cut down the costs yet get the same — or even better — results?
