For several years the County has contracted with nursing registries
to provide temporary licensed nursing personnel to assist Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences
and emergency situations. 'There continues to be a nationwide nursing
shortage, and in spite of persistent efforts to recruit nurses for
the new positions as well as other funded Registered Nurse positions,
the Department has experienced great difficulty in filling vacant
positions.. Therefore, the Department has had to rely heavily on the
registry services in order to provide quality nursing care for
patients.
Approval of Contract #26-187-3 will ensure the Department's ability
to provide nursing care for the County's patients, while continuing
its efforts to hire permanent nursing staff.
