Nursing Positions Top Medical Job Search
According to a company press release, HealthCareerWeb.com, a division of Dominion Enterprises, has profiled the top profession-based search engine queries that health care job seekers used to find the Web site in the past three months. The most popular requests for medical jobs were queries for nursing positions at 22.43% - an energizing response to the widespread nursing shortage nationwide.
The next most popular queries were for pharmacy technician jobs at 17.40%, followed closely by medical assistant jobs at 16.76% and home health care jobs at 15.45%. Trailing behind, in consecutive order, were dental assistant jobs at 6.09%, health care management jobs at 4.32%, medical billing jobs at 2.17%, nuclear medicine jobs at 1.83%, art therapy jobs at 1.74% and phlebotomy jobs at 1.65%.
This popularity of nursing job searches supports an observation from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook 2008-09 ed., “Enrollments in nursing programs at all levels have increased more rapidly in the past few years as students seek jobs with stable employment.” Another statement from the same source continues, “Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow 23 percent from 2006 to 2016, much faster than the average for all occupations.”
According to Denise Tanner, business development manager at HealthCareerWeb.com, “We often see requests for nursing jobs by region. For example, ‘nursing jobs in Michigan’ and even requests by discipline, such as ‘pediatric nursing jobs.’ We do our best to offer online nursing-job seekers a variety of employer ads from across the nation.”
