The following healthcare organizations shared hiring plans in June and July:

Beaufort (S.C.) Memorial Hospital, a 197-bed acute care facility, will host a job fair July 12 as it seeks to hire medical assistants, licensed practical nurses and clerical specialists, according to a WJCL report.

St. Louis-based BJC HealthCare laid off 68 employees and 45 contractors July 11 in its restructuring of IT staff.

Here are 20 hospitals and health systems that posted job listings seeking nurses in the last week.

The percentage of physician assistants working in surgical sub-specialties has increased over 70 percent since 2013, according to the 2017 Statistical Report of Certified Physician Assistants by Specialty released by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.

While there are more job postings for registered nurses than med tech positions, postings for the latter are growing at a faster pace, according to an analysis from Joblift.
