Nurses, the hospital is waiting for you

If you want a job of passion, become a nurse. This is essentially the message of public hospitals, not enough staff to treat patients. “Despite campaigns to focus on recruitment, the nursing shortage at the national level is expected to last another two or three years,” Mercedes Chaboissier concerned, policy officer with the Agency’s regional hospital in Ile-de- France. It is true that the entrance is not easy and that half of applicants fail the tests of eligibility. “But if you’re inspired by a true desire and true motivation, there is no reason why it goes wrong, she says. It is a job of front-line multi-faceted. “To become a nurse, just to have the bin or have three years of experience as a nursing aide or assistant child care, and preparing the contest entry in the Institutes of Nursing Education (IFSI). Successful candidates undergo training for three years, after which they receive a diploma certified by the State Department of Health.

No unemployment, particularly in geriatrics
On the menu of training, two types of learning: the nurse must know how to apply the requirements of medical doctors (vaccines, treatments, etc..) But also look after the health and comfort of patients. “The job of a nurse is two fold. It is as much art as relational, “says Brigitte Bertotto responsible for the organization of care at the Institut Montsouris mutualist (Paris). The current shortage is most common in geriatric nursing, “when the industry makes all the wealth of professional regulatory job,” Mercedes Chaboissier indignant. It is also a sector that is not likely to be subject to unemployment to believe the aging of the population going and coming to France. Second area affected by the shortage: nursing night. “However, night work can be more independent and have more responsibilities,” says Brigitte Bertotto. What attract the most reluctant to authority.
