Amerinet Inc. signs national contract with CampusRN
ST. LOUIS, (Jan. 13, 2004) To help hospitals, health maintenance organizations and other health-care providers answer the critical need of identifying and hiring skilled professionals, Amerinet Inc. has signed a national contract with CampusRN.com, an Internet company that connects health-care employers with job candidates.
"The new relationship with CampusRN is an opportunity for Amerinet members to address the continuing shortage of health-care professionals in the United States, which is expected to remain significant,'' said Ron Miller, Amerinet's vice president of administrative services and information resources. "With an estimated 70 million baby boomers expected to retire in coming years, the nursing shortage is reaching a crisis stage. The National Association of Geriatric Nursing Assistants estimates a present shortage of 250,000 nurses, and demand is expected to increase fourfold by 2010."
CampusRN.com, a subsidiary of CampusCareerCenter.com, is the only Internet-based recruitment service focused solely on assisting health-care employers recruit entry-level nursing talent nationwide. Students are able to apply for job openings, get competitive research on employers, obtain compensation information, and compare various career options within their field. Employers will have the opportunity to reach the nursing student directly with current openings before they graduate and enter the highly competitive job market.
"CampusRN serves as a pipeline between employers and nurses and other entry-level medical talent on campus,'' said Matt Casey, chief executive officer of CampusRN. "Our partnership with Amerinet gives us the opportunity to help their member health-care facilities recruit top entry-level health-care talent."
