Editor’s note: This is another in a series. Every Tuesday throughout the summer we’ll take a look at jobs the Washington Employment Security Department says are in demand in Pierce County. For Rita Wilson, nurse manager at Allenmore Hospital’s intensive care and progressive care departments, the shortage of nurses is a daily challenge.

With the number of nurses curently unable to fill the ongoing surfeit of nursing vacancies in the US, many are considering training to help them win a nursing job. Today’s guest columnist Willie Jones considers the benefits of online nursing schools.

There are approximately 3,000,000 RNs in the United States. That may sound like a lot but in actual fact; there is a shortage of young people going into the nursing profession. There is also the added problem of the older experienced RNs retiring within the next 5 to 7 years. Some hospitals rotate part time nurses as a solution but this may not be workable in the long term.

In the last 20 years there have been so many more opportunities for women in the work place that the nursing profession has suffered. We are in a position now that it is crucial to promote it widely and do what can be done to entice more people to take an interest in the nursing profession.

Fortunately the pay scale for qualified nurses has increased by as much as 12% in the last few years. Certification and geography play a big role in what kind of salary you can get. If you live in the New England or Pacific area, then the salaries are much higher. Also large hospitals with a high bed count typically pay more. And of course certification also makes a huge difference in salary. The range is huge. The average RN earns $40,000 to $58,000 per year. Specialty nurses can earn $65,000 to $80,000 per year depending again on certification and geography.

With the busy lifestyle we lead today, online courses are a great option, especially if you have children and want to further your education in a nursing career. There are several accredited online courses to help you achieve your goal. Your research skills can pay off big time if you do your homework and find the best online solution for you. Online courses now can get you Associate, Bachelor, Master, PhDs and more. There are also online sites that help you with your resume to help place you when you are ready.

If you are thinking about entering the nursing profession chances are you are a caring individual and want to help people. This I think is a wonderful gift you give of yourself and the health profession needs you. The word needs to get out to encourage young people to consider a nursing career for now and future health care.

Trainee nurses who graduate this summer have been told there are no jobs for them at the Royal Bolton Hospital. A group of 41 nursing students have worked for free on the wards of the hospital for the last 18 months. They had been assigned to the hospital as part of their course at Salford Universary and would normally expect to be taken on full time in Bolton at the end of the course.

But at a meeting called by senior figures at the cash-strapped Bolton NHS Trust, the nurses who have cost £1.5 million to train were told there is a nursing recruitment freeze in place, and none of them will be offered work.

Today, I’m going to share with you the awful truth about resumes and cover letters.

That’s not just my opinion, although I’ve read nearly 15,000 resumes and cover letters over the years and found glaring mistakes in about 85-90% of them.

It’s also the opinion of most of the hiring professionals I’ve spoken to over the years.

Where do most resumes and cover letters go wrong? And how can you avoid the typica …

Agent Recruiting in 2006: Not the Same Old Drill
Let’s start off with a given. The 2006 real estate market is tough and unlike anything we’ve seen in five years. The problem is if we go back five years, it was the advent of the Internet in residential brokerage. We’re at an historical point in our business. While the go-go market was going on, real estate consumers changed. Now that we’re in a more traditional market, we can’t rely on our traditional habits of recruiting and training agents.
