We Understand “Shortage”
Most everyone has now heard of the dramatic crisis regarding the “Nurse Shortage” across America, and unfortunately the communities with which we all live within, are not immune.
It is estimated that by the year 2010, Texas alone will be 75,000 nurses short.
* (NurseWeek). The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that more than one million new and replacement nurses will be needed by 2010. By 2020, the projected RN shortage will be 434,000, and counting.
The shortage of nurses is not alone. There are multiple healthcare professions that are equally in short supply in their respective fields. AMS will strive to search for any request, and will take pride in assisting any candidate who is competent in their skills, in matching thier skill with an organization. AMS will remain in support of our HealthCare Organizations, during peak and demanding times, and as long as vacancies remain, will continue to search and provide collaborative staffing support to their medical professional teams, upon their requests. By understanding the meaning of “shortage” from your perspective, we know how critical it is to assist you promptly, by securing competent staff, and by having a continuous communication with you until your staffing is fulfilled! We will give you that call back you expect!
We do Permanent Solutions too!
While AMS concentrates on temporary placements of staff where there are ongoing shortages, our company equally recognizes that our clients often turn to those they trust to help provide long term solutions for their permanent vacancies. AMS strives to meet these core needs of the organization’s long-term goals by searching for permanent placement staff, to fill professional and management roles within the organization.
