A serious issue. I don’t think colleges/universities are giving the full story, there are a lot of nurse educators in the workforce willing and able to teach the next generation of nurses! There are several factors to consider: 1. Below-market pay - I feel like this goes without saying 2. Unrealistic expectations - many universities turn away applicants without significant teaching experience - instead of providing orientation and training to new nurse educators that are passionate about teaching and willing to learn. 3. Fake job posts - there are MANY big name universities and colleges out there who claim to be hiring, but are posting ads for jobs that really don’t exist or that they don’t plan on filling anytime soon 4. Recruitment issues - lack of follow up with qualified candidates due to large volume of applicants compared to small recruiting workforce

As someone who started their career with Harris Health, I can tell firsthand that it's an incredible workplace. However, when I was searching for my first job, there were a few things that I wish someone had told me. So, let me share some of my experiences and advice with you. First and foremost, finding an organization whose vision, mission, and values align with yours is crucial. These aren't just fancy slogans that you see on commercials or healthcare organization websites. They're the guiding principles that shape every policy and guideline of an organization. As a bedside nurse, you're expected to embody these values in your care. So, it's essential to be passionate about the same values as your organization; otherwise, it could lead to disappointment and frustration. Don’t limit yourself to just one specialty. As a new nurse, getting fixated on one particular area and ignoring other opportunities is easy. I'm guilty of this, too; I wanted to be a Pediatric ER Nurse. That was what I decided prior to nursing school, and I took (or begged) for every opportunity to have clinicals in the ER. Truthfully, I didn’t give any other clinical settings a fair chance because my mind was already set. After graduation, I continued with this mentality and knew that I would prefer an ER position over others, without considering whether the organization's values aligned with mine. At that time, I knew nothing about Harris Health, but I was fortunate enough to realize that my love for working in pediatrics stemmed from my passion for helping those most in need. So, remember, apply, and select a position based on the organization and not just the unit or specialty. By doing so, you'll be on the right path toward achieving your end goal, even if it means starting in an area that wasn’t your first choice. If you remain open-minded, along the way, you'll gain valuable experience that will only enhance your skills and make you the best in your field. You might even discover a new passion, just as I did.
