Praises
has been raining on NursingExecutives.com, an
innovative career website for executive and
administrative nurses, especially those who count on
it most, the executive nurses seeking career choices
and the employers and recruiters who are seeking
them. Focusing on a very specific niche, the nursing
leaders, NursingExecutives.com has achieved
outstanding growth since its launch in 2003 and is
attracting the attention of many in the healthcare
industry, an industry rolling from a critical labor
shortage.
NursingExecutives.com president Cheryl Hooper knows
her way around the healthcare industry. She had
spent more than 15 years in various
healthcare-related capacities, including 10 years in
the field of medical staffing, and is an active
member of several healthcare associations on a local
and national level.
At a time of deep-seated labor shortages in the
healthcare industry, Hooper's background helped her
to single out one segment of the industry, the
nursing executives that were underserved by existing
career services.
Although many recruitment firms and career websites
catered in some fashion to the broadest spectrum of
nursing jobs, nobody had done anything to help this
specialized yet vital group, the nursing leaders.
Nursing leaders include executive, administrative,
and middle management nurses and they are a group
that occupies one of the most crucial positions in
the entire healthcare field.
Highly sought after in every sector of the
healthcare field by employers and recruiters are the
nursing executives. But as Hooper knew only too well
from her daily interaction with executive nurses,
they were largely overlooked in terms of employment
and career resources aimed specifically at their
needs, as were the recruiters and employers who are
desperate to reach them. Hooper's company and
website, NursingExecutives.com, set out to fill this
void with a unique and innovative solution: not only
bringing together administrative level nurses and
employers, but doing so in a way that offered a real
service and value to both sides.
NursingExecutives.com offers an efficient,
confidential, and effective procedure whereby
nursing executives can showcase their expertise to
potential employers. For employers and recruiters,
the website offers a unique, carefully-screened pool
of talent across a range of specializations under
the "nursing leaders" umbrella. It's a win-win
situation. As a result, the website serves as a
destination site for those seeking executive nursing
positions and those with positions to fill.
A complimentary feedback from users of the site,
applicants and employers alike, is a testament to
how Hooper has successfully leveraged her deep
knowledge of the industry into a unique website and
company. "First of its kind," is the type of phrase
seen more than once, along with comments like
"different from the rest;" "original;" “very
helpful;" "thanks for this resource;"
"user-friendly," and "effective," which all show up
in the voluminous feedback that
NursingExecutives.com has received to date. By
focusing on the needs of both sides, and by creating
a website and a service that seeks to
comprehensively meet the needs of both employees and
recruiters, Hooper has achieved an unusual measure
of success in the troubled waters of healthcare
employment. By focusing tightly on one problem, and
offering a carefully-crafted solution,
NursingExecutives.com has made an important
contribution to the field of healthcare employment,
and one that may well provide a blueprint for others
to follow.
