Often working long hours and having to deal with a shortage of staff, being a nurse is most certainly not an easy job. For many the rewards of assisting others in need balances the cons of the career. Still, no amount of human goodwill can take away the fear that job insecurity can cause.

The Royal College of Nursing, which represents nurses through out the United Kingdom and is the largest single nursing union in the world, recently conducted a survey of its members and found that the morale of nurses is at the lowest it has been in the last ten years. The results of the poll showed that many UK nurses are worried about the possibility of losing their jobs in London, the state of training, and job progression. It was also found that more than a quarter of the country's nurses still have to taken on a second job just so that they can be able to pay the bills.

The survey also found that 55% of nurses feel that they have too much work to allow them to offer the quality of care that they feel is deserved by their patients. Because of this 58% of nurses polled stated that they work seven more hours than they are contracted for a week.

At this time only 49% said that they would recommend nursing as a career. This figure is down 7% since only two years prior. Much of this has to do with the fact that many UK nurses feel they are not being offered adequate continued training. Only 45% of nurses polled said that they are able to take the time off to participate in continuing professional development (CPD) courses.

Despite the long hours and extra efforts that UK nurses are putting forth, 87% feel that they are underpaid when their profession is compared to other careers. Aside from being paid far too little and working too much, many nurses are beginning to fear for their London jobs. When the last poll was conducted by the Royal College of Nursing in 2005, 71% of nurses stated that they felt their careers offered job security. The most recent poll found that only 34% of these individuals still felt this way.

These general feelings of unhappiness have prompted many nurses to wish they could leave their healthcare jobs all together. The survey found that one out of every four nurses would quit and find a different sort of job if they were able to.

Hopefully these statistics will prompt a change in the way nursing the in UK is handled. When nurses feel overworked and under appreciated the quality of care given to patients declines and the entire hospital suffers.

Not Business as Usual
Along with the rise of new communication, technologies and the Internet specifically came new and now popular ways of transacting business around the globe. New information technologies also have improved the speed and accessibility of banking making it easier for humans across the planet to interact and transact.

Yet, along with improvement comes the potential for chaos in the system requiring knowledge and experience in those holding positions, which are key to the smooth running of daily business. What, then, happens to these systems when that necessary knowledge and experience is absent? According to recent human resources and workplace studies, the United States will soon be poised to learn the answer to this question when its key positions suddenly become vacant due to the loss of a number of workers vital to the daily operation known as business as usual.

Baby Boomers Leaving Labor Force
Currently, the United States work force is comprised of a growing number of humans who were born in what is now called the Baby Boomer generation. The state of California is no different. In fact, the most recent employment data lists government in a number of counties and especially state government as leading with the most new employment positions being created. Clearly, they are preparing to react so that delivery of necessary vital services is not obstructed due to the aging out of its primary work force.

Investing In Human Capital & Education
Other industries are also seeing brisk growth especially in the San Francisco Bay area with biotechnology leading the escalation. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of qualified and skilled workers to fill these positions so the state and several neighboring counties in the San Francisco Bay area are investing funds to help transform unemployed or laid off manufacturing workers to fill this void.

Interesting new projects are being funded by new initiatives, which are designed to create a self-sustaining society and fuel continued growth of both San Francisco jobs and the state’s economy. Of course, the success of the ventures will be easily measured by the successful attainment of those completing the new re-education program. Other similar programs have worked in the past and with continued success, new programs will be funded in the future with demonstrable success.

Why is the state and surrounding counties putting forth such efforts to transform disadvantaged segments of the labor force into highly skilled workers for biotechnology companies can be easily explained by the starting salaries of entry-level positions, which are reported to start at $35K to $45K for these unfilled positions? The reason is clear; a healthy, productive labor force, plus companies which employ these workers equal additional tax revenues, a robust local and state economy, and a self-sustaining climate as a direct result.

Certainly, these alone are reason enough to make the effort to re-train those willing to put forth the effort. A higher return than most investment dollars offer for the money. Plus, when the overall goal is to establish a self-sustaining population of people it appears to be the right investment for everyone concerned.

When many individuals are searching for new employment they consider the benefits offered by each company. Because of this good human resource departments put a lot of thought into the different benefits they offer. Offering such programs helps with office place moral which, more often than not, encourages employees to be more productive. With health and life insurance packages becoming common place, many companies have begun offering less traditional benefits.

One such service that several companies have begun to offer is legal insurance. With many American’s having little to no knowledge of the legal system and their rights, the ability to consult an attorney without having to spend their entire pay check is extremely helpful. These services usually cost an employee anywhere from $6 to $25 a month. At $36 a year, an individual is entitled to phone consultations and for $300 a year an attorney will most likely take care of an uncomplicated divorce.

Most individuals sign up for these plans believing that they will come in handy when they are ready to write their will. Instead the bulk of the insured end up using the legal insurance provided by their human resources department when something goes wrong. Being able to contact an attorney over a credit problem, a teenager who has gotten in trouble with the law, or an elderly parents estate issues can give one a huge piece of mind during a troublesome time.

Like all insurance plans, there is a downside to most of the legal insurance programs offered by employers. Many of these plans only offer consultations for divorces and many do not come into affect until six months later. Some plans do not pay upfront for a lawyer’s services, reimbursing the insured at a later time. None of the plans currently offered enable an employee to sue their employer, no matter what the situation.

With in the last year there has been a six percent increase in the amount of human resource departments offering legal insurance. With the divorce rate rising and more Americans finding themselves in sticky legal situations, these plans give employees comfort and are therefore, great benefits for any company to offer.

School systems throughout the country are struggling to keep educators in the classroom. At one time hiring enough new teachers to keep up with the increasing number of students was the main problem. Now it seems that convincing educators to stay is the issue.

The Clark County school district, which includes the city of Las Vegas, is not unaware of the fact that teacher retention, as well as recruiting, has become a problem. During the 2005-2006 school year the district lost 9.3 percent of their teaching staff, which means approximately 17,353 educators resigned by the end of the spring semester, which greatly impacts the need to refill teaching jobs in Las Vegas. The percentage of teachers that quit each year has been steadily rising. At the end of the 2004-2005 school year, the district lost 6.5 percent of their teachers and the year before that resulted in the loss of 5.99 percent of educators.

Before the Clark County Board of Education can focus on raising the level of teacher retention, they must fill the vacant classrooms for the coming school year. As of June 29, the district was 766 teachers short. Still, the shows some progress from two weeks prior when the district was lacking 1,163 educators. Many of the positions that still need to be filled are in the more difficult disciplines such as math or science. There is also a strong need for special education teachers.

Clark County teachers are also concerned over the fact that their might be some change in the union representing them. Currently Teamsters Local 14 is campaigning to replace the Clark County Education Association. In order to do this, Local 14 will have to get more than half of the districts licensed educators to sign pledge cards.

At this time the leaders of Local 14 seem confident in their ability to do this, despite the fact that some individuals believe that the organization isn’t interested in what’s best for the teachers. Some are worried that the organization is simply concerned with getting their hands on educators health trust, approximately $75 million a year, so that they can replace it with a cheaper HMO.

The current representative of the area’s educators has been responsible for winning 92 percent of grievances against the district last year. It has also been responsible for a $4,000 raise in new teacher’s salaries and a $7,000 raise for veteran teachers.
