🌟 Discovering Kindness Behind the Scenes: Celebrating Hospitality Workers in Healthcare 🌟 In the tapestried narrative of our healthcare system, an unsung chapter belongs to the hospitality workers. Today, I'm honouring an exceptional occasion—Hospitality Workers in Healthcare Day. It's a day that speaks volumes, yet often slips by unnoticed, much like the very individuals it celebrates. Hospitality staff form the backbone of our healthcare environment. In the labyrinth of corridors and the quiet hum of a hospital's heart, they are the ones who ensure a warm smile greets every patient and a clean, safe environment awaits every visitor. Reflecting on their vital role, it dawns on me how their tapestry of tasks—from whipping up comforting meals to ensuring pristine wards—creates a cocoon of care. Their touches of compassion stitch a sense of 'home' into the sterile fabric of medical institutions. Having interacted with these incredible individuals, I am struck by their silent strength. They move, often invisibly, through their day, all with a common purpose: to soothe, to support, to serve. But why, I ask, do we only grant them the spotlight once a year? Isn't their toil deserving of daily recognition? I carry this thought forward and with it, a commitment to express gratitude more often. And perhaps, this post will stir that same commitment in others. To every hospitality worker in healthcare out there, your service doesn't merely tick a box but paints strokes of humanity across our lives. Our 'thank you' may be a whisper against the roar of your dedication, but it is heartfelt and unwavering. As we stamp this day in our calendars, let's knit a new norm - one where appreciation is an everyday act, not confined to 24 hours. Let me know how a hospitality worker has made a difference in your healthcare experiences. Let's celebrate #HospitalityInHealthcare #UnsungHeroes #DailyGratitude 🏥💖🙏

🌍 Explaining the 50-100 Mile Policy to Travel Nurse Candidates 🌍 Travel Nurse #Recruiters, have you ever explained the importance of the 50-100-mile policy to candidates? "It's not us, it's them", usually doesn't go over very well! Here’s how Wise Medical Staffing Recruiters break it down:  Why is there a 50-100-mile policy for travel nurses? 🚗 Tax Benefits and Compliance  The main reason for the 50-100-mile policy is tied to tax regulations. To qualify for the tax-free stipends that make travel nursing so attractive—covering housing, meals, and other expenses—the IRS requires that your assignment is far enough from your permanent home to necessitate temporary lodging. Typically, this distance is set around 50-100 miles to ensure it’s truly a "travel" position. 🚗 Encouraging True Mobility  Hospitals implement this policy to ensure they are bringing in nurses who are truly “traveling” to the location, not local nurses who might otherwise commute. This helps maintain the integrity of the travel nursing model, which is designed to address staffing shortages by bringing in outside expertise. 🚗 Facility Requirements and Market Dynamics  Many hospitals have specific needs that can only be met by bringing in nurses outside the local area. The 50-100-mile policy helps ensure that travel nurses fill genuine staffing gaps rather than replacing local nurses who could commute to the facility. 🚗 Avoiding Conflicts with Local Staffing  This policy also helps avoid conflicts with local staff who might feel displaced by travel nurses. It keeps a clear distinction between local and travel positions, ensuring that travel nurses are brought to supplement, not replace, the existing workforce.  When explaining this to candidates, we emphasize that the policy is in place to protect their #benefits and ensure they can take full #advantage of the perks that come with travel nursing. It also ensures they are placed in positions that genuinely need their skills, making their work even more valuable and impactful. #HCSM #CEOHealthcare #B2B #outsourcing #healthcare #eldercare #Hospital #seniorcare #healthcareadministration #support #homecare #patientsafety #healthsystems #HCLDR #healthcarechat #MGMA #wisechoice #wisemedical #mentalhealth #correctionshealthcare #healthcarestaffing #businessgrowth #recruitmentexperts
