Center• Carla Neugroschel Dorchester County

Health Department• Doug Wilson Peninsula Regional

Are Job Projections Accurate?

•Too Low•Aging population of health care workers

will result in significant positive impact on openings

•Health care reform will have a significant positive impact on openings

•Health care reform will have a significant positive impact on mid level practitioner openings ex: nurse practitioner, dental hygienist, physician assistant


Is wage data accurate?

•LPN wages are too high•Wage rates are close to average in

general- within an acceptable range•Government wage rates are lower than

averages presented


What is the future for the LPN certification?•Most employers are phasing out LPNs•LPNs can “evaluate but not assess”,

therefore, an RN must provide assessment

•RNs with an Associate’s Degree seem to be the “replacement” for LPNs


How does phlebotomy fit into local healthcare hiring?•National companies such as Quest and

Labcorp are the major employers of phlebotomists


Where are other healthcare jobs such as dental listed?•Word of mouth among affiliate groups•ESAHEC lists some jobs•Networking among employers and

jobseekers•Not listed in newspapers


Other areas of discussion•Median wage data may be more useful

than average wage data•Many employers are using travel nurses

and other temporary staffing options•New RNs are hard to place- Genesis has a

3 week orientation program, Shore Health’s critical Care University

•Job titles in employment postings create confusion- medical tech: C.N.A vs 4 year degree position


Other areas of discussion

•“Uncoupling”: dental hygienists from dentists, physician’s assistants from physicians

•Health care reform’s impact on health care delivery is evolving
