| lack of nurses in CzechRep
|
| Monday
|
The lack of nurses in Czech hospitals is mainly caused by the inconvenient education system and low wages for the hard and responsible work, participants in a two-day conference on nursing, held by the Czech Association of Nurses (CAS), agreed Thursday.
Large hospitals in the country are badly short of nurses, but smaller facilities have started to face the same problem as well, Kadan hospital director Josef Masek told CTK today.
Nurse Milada Balasova, one of the organisers, blamed the system of nurses' training for the problems.
She recalled that higher vocational or university education for nurses was introduced in the Czech Republic immediately after the respective EU directive was issued four years ago.
Consequently, Czech nurses study for up to nine years, including a four-year secondary school of nursing.
"After the graduation, they expect something else, but physically demanding and responsible work for a low salary," she added.
A nurse who wants to work more independently must pass a higher vocational school or BC studies at university now. The graduates from secondary nursing school work as assistant nurses under supervision only.
Health Ministry spokesman Tomas Cikrt told CTK that Health Minister Tomas Julinek (senior government Civic Democrats, ODS) agreed with CAS president Dana Juraskova that necessary analyses would be worked out by the Education Ministry that might also regulate conditions for nurses' admission to university studies.
CAS points out that only one-third of nurses with university education would suffice to cover the needs.
Cikrt recalled that Julinek received 0.5 billion crowns for the education of nurses and doctors from the state budget for 2009.
Nurses with university education would have more responsibility and do part of the doctor's work in the team, and so their salaries would rise.
The number of less qualified nurses and hospital attendants would also rise if health insurers better paid high-quality health care facilities and did not sign contracts with poor-quality ones, Cikrt added.
Masek recalled that nursing school graduates often take other jobs over low wages as the average monthly pay of a nurse in hospital, including overtime, does not even reach the national average of 23,000 crowns.
Out of the 3000 graduates from secondary nursing schools this year, only 200 started to work as nurses, Masek added.
He said the education of future nurses should be adapted to real conditions to solve the problem.
A total of 250 nurses from the whole Czech Republic attended the 6th conference in Kadan that has been held by the CAS since 2000.source
