Personally , I have mixed feeling about poaching from underprivileged countries. Several of my friends that are nurses have benefited from the program. However, I consider it inappropriate to take indispensable resources from an undeveloped country, to place in a thriving country with a promise that was never intended to be honored. Doctor’s Hospital had a migrate program, and they would house the nurses in the building adjacent from the hospital. Two bedroom apartment would have five to six nurses living there . The nurses did not care about the crowded apartment because, it was a better living accommodations . “Although a recruiter may offer a particular salary, migrant nurses often arrive in the recipient country to find the compensation less than what was originally promised” (Li,Nie, & Li ,2014) .These nurses are looking for a better life for them and their family, but at what cost? The pros of having migrate nurses working in 1st country are the financial stability, clean place to live and available resources. The ability to help their families back home to show that it was a good decision and worth the sacrifice. The education and promotions achieved through continuance of education are a few factors that help with their decision to leave. …show more content…
Hence, unsafe working conditions and lack of support . “Some nurses reported feelings of isolation, loneliness, difficulty coping, frustration, confusion, and loss of self-confidence and self-esteem during the adjustment process” (Li,Nie, & Li ,2014). The transition and language are a few things the migrate nurses face when they arrive to a new country. I believe everyone should have the means of providing for their family, however, I don’t think that you should take from the resource from an less develop country with empty
In the future, all language and culturally different barriers should be nonexistent. The world that we live in is gradually become more diverse. It is a challenge for some people to accept different cultures because to them it is out of the norm but English is slowly fading out of the number one spot of being the number one language and no longer will we be in a room in everyone looks exactly like us, but having a positive attitude towards others and a willingness to learn will make anybody feel like they belong. Patience is always key and the ability to not judge will take a nurse a long way their journey to provide the best care to any patient regardless of background, color, ethnicity, or culture.
The most exciting thing about travel nursing is that the assignments usually last 13 weeks (Travel Nursing). If an individual did not like their assignment then they have the option to come back home, on the flip side they could extend their assignment. Another great thing is that this specific kind of nurse has the option to choose where they can work whether it be Florida, Texas, New York, Washington, or even California. The only downfall is that certain cities might not be available but every state is (What is travel nursing?). The reason why the option to become a travel nurse even exist is because the demand for nurses is high, and there are shortages in some areas. The travel nurse comes in to fulfil a specific position that is needed for a short amount of time. This type of job could benefit anyone in the long run because you can kinda get a clue of where you want to live at whenever you settle down. This job will also help anyone save money because living and traveling expenses are already covered within the job, so a person could really just enjoy life (What is a traveling
The modern nurse has much to be thankful for because of some of the early pioneers of nursing, such as Florence Nightingale and Jensey Snow. However, the scope and influence of professional nursing, as well as the individual nurse, has seen more exponential growth and change in North America since the establishment of the first professional organization for nursing, the Nurses Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada, which in 1911 came to be known as the American Nurses Association.
For those of us who work in an acute care setting nursing is more about vital signs, electrolyte imbalances, arrhythmias, respiratory status and mental status changes just to mention a few of the things that demand our attention on a day to day basis. However, at times we are faced with issues that call into play ethical decision and hence it is important to understand ethical concepts that can influence such decisions. Concepts such as scientism, relativism, post modernism have been recognized as playing a key role in the conflict between science and religion. A conflict that has hindered an important healthcare goal of holistic patient care (Grand Canyon University, 2015).
There are several factors that are considered the causes of the nursing shortage. Literature suggests that the shortage is linked to factors related to current population trends and the nature of the health care e...
Providing culturally competent care is a vital responsibility of a nurse’s role in healthcare. “Culturally competent care means conveying acceptance of the patient’s health beliefs while sharing information, encouraging self-efficiency, and strengthening the patients coping resources” (Giddens, 2013). Competence is achieved through and ongoing process of understanding another culture and learning to accept and respect the differences.
As mentioned above the main reason for the migration of healthcare professionals is the salary. The government must ensure that they spend a large chunk of their healthcare budget in the salaries of healthcare professionals. In order to benefit from the amount they have spent in educating these medical graduates, the government should make it mandatory for the medical graduates to work in their native countries for a fixed amount of time. This program has been successfully implemented in South Africa (called Community Service program), moreover it was found in a study by University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) that many professionals with a positive community service experience preferred staying in South Africa to migrating abroad.
The nursing shortage is divided into four different categories. The four categories are as follows; "willing nurse" shortage, funding or perceived funding shortage, shortage of understanding that nurses are needed to deliver care, and nurse education and empowerment shortages (What is the nursing shortage and why does it exist?., 18 October, 2007). To be able to repair this major problem, all four segments of shortages need to be addressed. The first nursing shortage, A "willing nurse" shortage, is the simple fact of not enough supply to fill the demand of nursing positions. This shortage occurs either because there are simply not enough nurses to fill the open positions, or because experienced nurses are opting out of nursing and the willingness to provide care due to the current occupational environment. The second nursing shortage is the funding or perceived funding shortage. This shortage is merely due to nurses not feeling as if they are being compensat...
The prolonged shortage of skilled nursing personnel has been a serious concern to the healthcare industry, and this shortage has impacted the quality of care delivery. In addition, nursing turnover has also exacerbated the problem of nursing shortage. Nursing shortage has been blamed on many nurses retiring and less younger nurses joining the occupation. There is also an increase in life expectancy (baby boomers) leading an increase in both physical and mental ailment with subsequent demand in nursing care. Nurses are also leaving nursing profession because of inadequate staffing, tense work environment, negative press about the profession, and inflexible work schedules. Even though nursing is a promising career and offers job security, the
Poor staffing stresses every nurse and makes them despite what they once loved to do. Nurses are overworked and because of that they may not provide adequate patient care.
The term culture is defined as “the thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of racial, ethnic, religious, or social groups” (Potter & Perry, 2013). With the increase of culturally diverse populations in the United States, it is important for nurses to practice cultural competence. Cultural competence is the ability to acquire specific behaviors, skills, attitudes, and policies in a system that permits “effective work in a cross-cultural setting” (OMH, 2013). Being culturally competent is essential because nurses who acknowledges and respects a patient’s health beliefs and practices are more likely to have positive health outcomes (OMH, 2012). Every culture has certain views and attitudes concerning health. The Jewish (also referred to as Jews), in particular, have intriguing health practices and beliefs that health care providers need to be aware of.

Madeleine Leininger is a nurse who realized that cultural care was an important concept in nursing. In the 1950s she found that behavioral issues in children stemmed from a cultural basis due to nursing having a lack of knowledge in a variety of cultural awareness (Buschur-Betancourt, 2015). The purpose of this paper is to identify the eight reasons Madeleine Leininger states transcultural nursing is necessary. I will describe the cultural diversity and how it relates to my field of nursing. I will also provide three ways that I have incorporated culturally sensitive care toward my patients.
Those that are qualified would remain because the salary would be attractive: for example, based on online research, “in 2000, over 500 nurses left Ghana for employment in the industrialized countries. That was more than twice the number of new graduates from nursing programs in the country that year (Zachary 2001). In Malawi, between 1999 and 2001 over 60 per cent of the registered nurses in a single tertiary hospital (114 nurses) left for employment in other countries (Martineau et al 2002). In 2003, a hospital in Swaziland reported that 30 per cent of their 125 nurses were lost to work abroad (Kober and Van Damme 2006) and, between 1999 and 2001, Zimbabwe lost 32 per cent of their registered nurses to employment in the UK (Chikanda 2005)” (p. 3).Since these nurses are qualified or specialized they would provide a high-quality service which may be lacking in the hospitals and clinics thus improving health care. Also, the shortage of nurses would be addressed which would result in the nurses being less overworked and stressed. More specialized nurses mean better health care. Doesn’t the populace deserve health care at its
First of all, there 's an emotional level to the way that globalization has affected the nursing world. There are many programs, such as Red Cross, that require nurses to volunteer to go to different countries and help those in need for free. It is necessary for nurses to be involved on an emotional level because it helps them to better connect those they are
