Video Description:
www.EmploymentCrossing.com The Department of Defense and Virginias Inova Health System have announced a joint effort to recruit, train and license military spouses for health care and nursing jobs in Northern Virginia. The Military to Medicine program was created to meet the needs of hospitals and military families. Of the 675,000 husbands and wives of active-duty military personnel in the country, 77 percent report that they need or want work. That leaves more than half a million people looking for jobs that will allow them to relocate easily, and offer them flexibility for childcare if a spouse is serving away from home. Meanwhile, hospitals nationwide are suffering from a lack of trained nurses. Some industry experts predict a nursing shortage of as many as one million by 2015. We have a national shortage of allied health professionals across the countries, and we have spouses looking for positive, portable careers, Leslye Arsht, deputy under-secretary of defense for military community and family policy, told the Washington Business Journal. Inova Health Systems and DOD plan to rollout the Military to Medicine program nationally, offering education, training, certification and licensing, as well as incentives for those already in the fields of health care and nursing to remain in those jobs while their spouses serve in the military.
