Nursing education in Poland are developing slowly but steadily in response to changing social needs and emerging healthcare issues. In particular, the immediate demand for more nurses is generating innovation in nursing education and encouraging Polish universities to graduate more nurses. Unfortunately, nursing wages remain low in regards to other professions, which only fuels the nursing shortage. Polish nurses are also facing staffing issues. At times, the nurse-patient ratio is 28 to 1. These working conditions also discourage people from pursuing a career in nursing. Finally, male nurses are rare in Poland. The future of nursing in Poland will be dictated by the Polish government and university systems and their efforts to produce more graduate nurses who can thrive and practice in a more complex, evolving world and who receive competitive pay for their expertise.
波兰的护理教育正在缓慢但稳步地发展,以应对不断变化的社会需求和新出现的医疗保健问题。特别是,对更多护士的迫切需求正在推动护理教育创新,并促使波兰大学培养更多护士。不幸的是,与其他职业相比,护士的工资仍然很低,这只会加剧护理人员短缺的问题。波兰护士还面临人员配备问题。有时,护士与患者的比例为28比1。这些工作条件也使人们不愿从事护理职业。最后,波兰的男护士很少。波兰护理行业的未来将取决于波兰政府和大学系统,以及它们为培养更多能够在更加复杂、不断发展的世界中蓬勃发展并执业、且因其专业知识获得有竞争力薪酬的毕业护士所做的努力。
