Sarah Jenkins, a Catholic University undergraduate, is working on her bachelors degree in nursing. My mother is a nurse. Ive seen how she touches people, and I want to be a nurse and touch people like she does, said Sarah. She hopes to become a school nurse, which she has tried as a student. It is a great experience, she said.
가톨릭대학 학부생인 사라 젠킨스는 간호학 학사학위 준비 과정에 있다. 사라는 어머니가 간호사였다. 나는 어머니가 어떻게 환자를 돌보는지를 죽 봐 왔다. 나도 어머니처럼 환자들을 돌봐주고 싶다.라고 말한다. 사라는 학교의 양호 교사가 되기를 원한다. 교생 실습을 나가서 양호교사를 해 본 사라는 아주 근사한 경험이었다고 말했다.
Michael Desjardins, a registered nurse at the Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute of the University of Utah Hospital for more than a year, took his cue from his dad, a clinical psychologist. He saw opportunities in the profession, especially for men, and encouraged me to look at it, said Michael. I love it.
마이클 데자딘스는 유타 대학 의대부속 유타 신경정신병원에서 1년이상 일한 공인 간호사이다. 그는 임상정신과의인 아버지로부터 귀띰을 받았다고 했다. 아버지는 앞으로 간호사가 유망직종일 것이라고 하셨죠. 특히 남자에게 말이죠.나에게 간호사 직을 눈여겨 보라고 하셨는데 저는 이 일이 좋더라구요.
The country needs thousands like Miss Jenkins and Mr. Desjardin to heal a nursing shortage projected to reach 434,000 by 2020. It is so severe that 93 percent of Americans questioned in a poll commissioned by Johnson & Johnson saw it as a danger to quality health care.
미국은 젠킨스양이나 데자딘스군같은 사람이 수천명이 더 필요하다. 2020년까지 필요한 간호원 수가 434,000명이기 때문이다. 존슨앤존슨 설문조사연구소가 실시한 미국 설문조사에서 93 퍼센트의 미국인들이 의료제도의 질적 수준 저하를 초래할 수 있는 것으로 보았다.
One of the most pressing issues facing the health care system today, the nursing shortage has not gone unheeded. Certainly, basic causes are well publicized: for example, aging Baby Boomers include not only more patients needing care but also nurses who retire; women who once became nurses because career choices were few today work at almost every kind of job; and the popular picture of nurses work tends to omit the many opportunities for men and women to receive good wages and enjoy professional advancement in extended care facilities, clinics, offices, military service, corporations, hospice as well as hospitals and other settings. Documenting this knowledge gap, the Johnson & Johnson poll found only 1 in 4 Americans ever heard of a nurse practitioner who has higher education and can diagnose illness, prescribe medication and participate in treatment decisions.
Many promising remedies are underway. For one, the U.S. government is investing in nurses education and recruitment. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson just announced $30 million in grants to help colleges, universities and otherorganizations provide training to nurses with advanced degrees and to help repay education loans to nurses who agree to work for two years in designated health facilities facing critical shortages.
For another, Johnson & Johnson this year launched a drive, beginning with more than $20 million for two years, to inspire nursing candidates. Created with the aid of nursing organizations, schools, hospitals and other health care groups, the campaign features brochures, posters and such in high schools and nursing schools plus television commercials celebrating the many facets of nursing. Johnson & Johnsons Campaign for Nursings Tomorrow also offerings scholarships for undergraduate study and for masters or doctorate degrees for aspiring nurse educators. The first 17 scholarships have been given, and they add to the $2 million in scholarships to undergraduate nursing students since 1974 from the Foundation of the National Student Nurses Association, which in 2002, will give $100,000 more for this purpose.
Theres more. Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow, a coalition of 27 nursing organizations, has commenced a national multimedia campaign to polish the public image of nursing. And some states have sponsored groups such as the Maryland Commission on Nursing, created in 2000 to address nursing shortage issues.
These commendable endeavors are only part of the solution, however. Once more men and women are educated and recruited, they must stay on the job.
Yet some leave because of extremely demanding case loads. Cutbacks in hospital resources resulting from managed care have made nursing more stressful, according to Health Cares Human Crisis: The American Nursing Shortage, prepared for The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This extensive analysis urges creation of an independent National Forum to Advance Nursing, which could draw together a range of stakeholders to address the nursing shortage and broader, related health and social issues. Similarly, In Our Hands: Hospital Leaders Can Build a Thriving Work Force, a report by a commission of the American Hospital Association, recommends joint efforts of health care experts, state and federal policymakers, business and workers.
Nurses, for their part, ask that more hospitals become qualified under the rigorous magnate program of the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which sets high standards for patient care and requires hospitals to reapply every three years. Of 6,000 hospitals in the country, 50 have magnate status.
One is Inova Fairfax, in Fairfax, Va. We have a professional, autonomous nursing staff. Our staffing ratios are good. Our clinical outcomes are good. Our staff goes to continuing education. We have great tuition reimbursement. We have a lot of people in school to get masters degrees, says Karen Drenkard, chief nurse executive for Inova Health Systems. Four other hospitals in the Inova system are in the process of meeting the standards, she reports. If every hospital worked to get magnate, wed be in great shape, says Ms. Drenkard.
Surely, as more facilities achieve superiority, greater numbers of nurses — assisted by the efforts of Health and Human Services, Johnson & Johnson and other organizations — will enjoy gratifying jobs and continue to give sick people good care.
