Do you feel the problem with the nursing shortage is the ability of companies wanting to train new grads ?

The problem of the shortage of nurses does not lie in the capacity of companies that wanting to train new graduates. But during the pandemic, many nurses preferred to work in vaccination centers where hours are more flexible, pay more attractive and workload less. This telling phenomenon has only increased the shortage of caregivers. Added to this are inadequate data and limited analytical capacity, poor governance and management, a lack of strategic planning and insufficient investment in strengthening the workforce. In addition, according to WHO estimates, around 50,000 workers. 27 Feb 2023

No, I personally don't think so. While many employers want experienced staff and need them, new grads are a perfect fit but many new grads have unrealistic expectations for their first job in relation to the responsibilities they are taking on and expect more or want to start travel nursing right away. Travel and agency nurses should typically have at least 1-3 years experience in their area of expertise prior to traveling. I say this because many employers want you to start asap, don't want to pay for orientation days to a unit or floor, they expect you to come and be ready to go!

Also, bedside nursing is a transitional point for many new grads to get experience to move on to their dream job.

I'm not sure. It takes a lot of money to train new employees but I've noticed the trend is not to hire nurses with years of experience. Why? They would get paid more than a new grad. Mostly, it's because nurses are leaving in droves, never to be a nurse again.

I think they will hire new grads so they don't pay them as much
