The quality of nursing in departments is directly related to the quality and management level of head nurses. Its work, quality and ability will directly affect the nursing quality and management level of the hospital. Nursing management is an important part of hospital management, and the head nurse is the main body of nursing management.

The head nurse is a very key position in the medical system. The head nurse's job responsibility is great, technical and involves a wide range, which requires strong leadership, coordination and communication skills and decisive execution ability.

Current situation of nursing specialty

Nursing specialty has been listed as a national talent shortage specialty by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and other six ministries, and should be given key support. The statistical results of the World Health Organization on the health talent resources of member countries show that many countries are in short supply of nursing talents. In China, the number of nurses is far from enough, and the ratio of medical care is seriously unbalanced. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Health, the ratio of doctors and nurses in hospitals in China is 1: 2, and that in important departments should be 1: 4. At present, the national health care ratio 1:0.6 1 is far from the requirements of the Ministry of Health, the international level 1:2.7, and the ratio of developed countries 1: 8.5. At present, the total number of nurses in China is 6.5438+0.3078 million, and the total number of doctors is 2.0997 million. According to the minimum medical allocation of the Ministry of Health, the number of nurses is nearly 3 million.

Employment prospect of nursing specialty

Domestic situation: With the development of social economy and the gradual realization of the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the people's demand for health and health services is getting higher and higher. At the same time, the progress of science and technology and the deepening of medical and health service reform put forward higher requirements for the quantity, quality and structure of nursing talents. The goal of China Nursing Development Plan (2005-20 10) is to increase the total number of clinical front-line nurses and realize the rational allocation of nurse talent resources. By 2007, the number of nurses in tertiary hospitals in China should reach the standard of nurses. By 20 10, 85% of secondary hospitals in China will meet the standards of nurses. At the press conference of "Training Project for Skilled Talents in Manufacturing and Modern Service Industry" jointly held by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, it was stated that the shortage of nursing human resources in China is obvious, which is far from meeting people's medical care needs, and the training of nurses will be strengthened in the future. It is estimated that by 20 15, the ratio of doctors to nurses in China will reach 1: 1. Every year, 6,543,800 nurses at all levels need to be trained. There is a shortage of nursing talents, especially male nurses. All kinds of hospitals in China, especially general hospitals, need male nurses. They believe that male nurses have good physical quality and strong practical ability, and can play a better role in emergency department, operating room, ICU ward and other positions to serve patients.

International situation

With the surge in demand for nursing staff in the international medical market, the phenomenon of "nurse shortage" has become increasingly prominent in front of medical circles in various countries. In the next 10 year, the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan and other countries in the world will urgently need 2 million nursing talents. International human resources companies have set their sights on China. The shortage of nursing talents in the world has created more opportunities for nurses in China to go abroad and enter the international market for employment. The continuous shortage of nurses forces the US government to provide preferential conditions to attract foreign nurses, including obtaining green cards, so that nurses all over the world have the opportunity to immigrate to the United States and get high-paying jobs. Article 343 published by the US Immigration Bureau lists nurses who have passed CGNFS or NCLEX(RN) as the first priority to get a green card, and they can get a green card to work in the United States as soon as half a year. In August 2002, US President Bush also signed the "Nurse Reinvestment Clause". Therefore, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that in addition to providing $30 million, state governments also actively allocated funds, with the participation of local hospital matching funds, which can provide scholarships or subsidies up to 80% of tuition fees, and encourage current RN (registered nurses) to continue their studies or participate in nursing research institutes. After obtaining a master's degree, he can become a senior professional nurse practitioner such as a nursing diagnostician, a clinical nurse practitioner and a nursing midwife, with an annual salary of 865,438+10,000 US dollars.
