Nursing course: a new shortcut for skilled immigrants

Like many countries in the world, New Zealand has a serious problem of aging population and a shortage of nursing staff, and the nursing industry has attracted more and more attention. In New Zealand, nursing has become a highly respected profession with high salary and excellent employment prospects. At present, this industry is very short of high-level nursing professionals.

Social conditions in New Zealand

According to Statistics New Zealand, from 1996 to 20 1 1, the number of elderly people over 65 in New Zealand will reach 552,000, and from 20 1 1-202 1, the number of elderly people over 65 in New Zealand will reach 70. In the next half century, the number of elderly people over 65 in New Zealand will increase.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health of New Zealand, there are about 34,000 employees engaged in medical care in New Zealand, and only 309/kloc-0 employees are engaged in the aged care industry, accounting for only 8.9% of medical workers. The pension industry has become the most important part of New Zealand's medical care and welfare. According to experts, due to the increasing elderly population in New Zealand, New Zealand needs to introduce a large number of nursing staff to cope with the increasingly serious nursing crisis. Nursing industry is the fastest growing and long-term shortage industry in New Zealand, and it is also a skilled talent actively attracted by immigrants to New Zealand.

Social situation in China

Compared with China, the situation in China is similar. According to a statistic from China, at present, the number of elderly people over 60 in China has exceeded 654.38+43 billion. Population experts predict that around 2035, the proportion of the elderly over 65 in the total population in China will rise to 20%. The expanding elderly population makes the demand for old-age care and nursing services suddenly rise.

Judging from the situation in Shanghai, there are currently 2.608 million elderly people over 60 years old, accounting for 19.3% of the total population in Shanghai. Although the number of beds for the aged is increasing by 3,000 every year, the demand is still in short supply, especially in the central city? A bed is hard to find? Phenomenon. It is predicted that the population aging in Shanghai will accelerate in the next few years. It is estimated that there will be an average annual net increase of about 90,000 elderly people from 2005 to 20 10, and an average annual net increase of about150,000 elderly people from 20 10 to 2020. Shanghai actively encourages private capital to invest in nursing homes. However, the lack of professional talents restricts the service quality of nursing homes and becomes the bottleneck of the development of old-age care institutions.

A survey report shows that at present, the proportion of people who have received professional training in old-age care services in large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing and Shanghai is low, and the certified rate of nursing staff in old-age care institutions is 57.4%, of which the certified rate of nursing staff in social-run old-age care institutions is only 43.5%. Most old-age care institutions are not equipped with professionals in professional nursing, gerontology, legal consultation and social work, which cannot meet the needs of the elderly. According to the analysis of experts from the New Zealand Association for Studying Abroad, today's nursing industry needs professionals to engage in high-skilled jobs, and there is a great demand for nursing and rehabilitation talents, and there are good opportunities for the development of pension talents in the future.

Current situation of nursing homes in New Zealand

Lack of employees with professional nursing knowledge. At present, most nursing homes are replaced by nurses with no professional knowledge, and the nurses move quickly, and most of them have no experience and skills before taking up their posts. Therefore, some universities, polytechnics and some private schools in New Zealand have set up nursing courses accordingly, so as to improve the professional quality of nursing staff as a whole and ensure the high quality and professional service of the industry. First, briefly introduce the content of this course.
