Hospitals are spending 2–3x more on travel nurses than permanent staff — and Talent Acquisition teams are stuck plugging holes with gold-plated Band-Aids. Here’s the breakdown: 👉 Permanent nurses: ~$50/hour on average 👉 Travel nurses: $150–$200/hour when you factor in agency fees and contracts Between 2019 and 2022, hospital spending on travel nurses skyrocketed 721%. Today, nearly 40% of some hospitals’ nursing budgets go just to travel contracts. And yes, they help in a pinch. But over time? Permanent nurses offer stability, stronger culture, and better outcomes — but they’re getting harder to find and keep. That’s why we build Betterleap. The people saving lives shouldn’t have to fight to get hired — and they shouldn’t be hard to find. We’re fixing that. One connection at a time.

The demand for hybrid healthcare roles is surging. Clinicians are now expected to navigate both in-person and telehealth environments seamlessly. This shift requires new competencies: digital literacy, adaptability, and cross-state licensure. Recruiters must evolve their strategies to identify and attract talent equipped for this dual modality. Check out hybrid opportunities on betterleap.com

Bill Gates predicts that AI will soon alleviate critical labor shortages in healthcare, a sector once deemed resistant to automation. AI is already streamlining administrative tasks, enhancing diagnostics, and improving productivity. This technological integration could add up to $370 billion in value to the healthcare sector. Organization leveraging AI to optimize staffing and patient care are definitely staying ahead of the curve. Check out Betterleap because people who save lives should not be hard to find.

In 2024, nearly 287,300 RNs left their roles. Every nurse who walks out the door costs a hospital ~$56,000. Add it up: that’s over $16 billion burned — mostly due to stress, burnout, and lack of support. As you can guess, beyond financial impact, lower turnover is linked to fewer patient falls, faster recovery times, and stronger patient satisfaction scores. Retention isn’t just an HR metric, it's a financial and a care quality metric. What’s one thing your team does actually well to keep nurses happy in such a tough job and environment?
