Just in the clinical areas alone right now Flowers Hospital has 73 nursing openings. Altogether, the hospital has about 120 job openings.
CEO Jeff Brannon said this is a great time for those looking for a job.
Whether it may be for an entry level position or if they have a license to work as a nurse, raspatory therapist or a RAD tech, there are openings in all of these areas at Flowers Hospital.
Brannon said the pandemic has impacted the job market, especially for entry level jobs, such as support staff and business office personnel. He said his is where the hospital is hurting the most at the moment when it comes to hiring.
“The average hourly rate for those jobs are going to be somewhere north of $10 an hour,” Jeff Brannon, CEO, said. “Certainly, if you have, you know if you are making 13 to 15 dollars an hour sitting at home, that’s kind of hard to compete with.

We have those opportunities here.”
