Current employment

Future clinical careers

The healthcare workforce, particularly professional nursing, has faced shortages over the past three decades that adversely impact our healthcare system.

This year’s survey revealed that clinicians currently working long-term and short-term travel contracts are more willing to explore permanent employment in 2023, but employers must learn how to attract clinicians back to staff jobs.

The job search in 2023

After hourly wage and benefits, clinicians identified workload (staffing) and flexible schedules as most important.

Clinicians ranked “feeling safe at work” and “the commute to work” as being important in their job search.

Attitude toward current work environments

In the 2022 State of the Healthcare Workforce survey, 62% of respondents expressed their intention to leave healthcare within the next five years. This year, only 45% plan to leave within the next three years, while the rest have no plans to leave. However, the intention to leave isn’t the same as actually leaving. Clinicians may experience several factors that cause them to consider leaving.

Personal safety, support for mental health and well-being and burnout play a major role in retaining current staff and recruiting travel clinicians back to permanent staff positions.
