McKnight's Long Term Care: Fighting a nursing quantity problem or a quality problem?
from McKnight's Podcast Hosted by Sally Cantwell, Kimberly Marselas
Solving the nursing home sector’s ongoing staffing crisis can’t be just about filling open positions, says Sally Cantwell, the top recruiter at PACS, a management and consultant group supporting more than 150 nursing homes nationwide. Looking outside the box for candidates to meet local needs is only step one. Today’s recruitment and retention efforts also must be focused on identifying and building individuals’ interest in skilled nursing care, giving workers strong reasons to stay and equipping those who want to move up with the realistic ability to pursue those goals. Listen to this engaging conversation moderated by McKnight’s Long-Term care News Senior Editor Kimberly Marselas to learn more about how PACS is innovating typical nursing home hiring strategies - starting with hiring Cantwell. The former nursing school dean and acute care nurse is bringing an entirely different lens and creating a new kind of recruitment and retention tool box for PACS partners.
