Would you pay this? Whereas a few months ago I was hearing from #urgentcare operators regarding challenges recruiting and retaining providers, the discussion has quickly shifted from #nursepractitioners to #medicalassisting
When a medical clinic is short-staffed MAs, or when a new MA is put on the floor during a busy respiratory rush, such undermines provider efficiency, undermines team cohesion and harmony, and exacerbates the problem of provider #burnout
Zanesville, Ohio is 45 minutes from the East suburban rim of Columbus, meaning this would not be an unreasonable commute for what's more than $65,000 per year (loaded w/benefits). How can urgent care compete with this?
Wage inflation aside...the first challenge has to do with the hiring process. When you post an MA position, most of the applicants are looking now, meaning if you don't schedule an interview and make an offer within a couple of days (literally within hours of receiving an application), they'll be unavailable when you call.
Given a short recruiting cycle, it's almost impossible to build a pipeline of prospects meaning each vacancy kicks off its own recruiting cycle. Then, there are the same applicants who've applied every time you've posted, who have been a no-show for interviews in the past, but always re-apply. This adds work and discernment for your team...all of which distracts from operations.
So...when you think you've filled your schedule, your new hire finally gets the job they "really" wanted--or receive a text such as this one offering more money--you're left in a bind when have no problem abandoning your team.
The situation I'm hearing with MA recruiting is you end up chasing your tail.
I have theories as to the "root cause." What do you think? Is this an issue for the industry or have you not experienced this?
