Author : Arun Kumar Rajamani
Indian nurses are top ranked and most wanted nurses around the world for their work dedication and good healthcare. Few decades back, we have good system to promote nursing education and most people eager to pursue career in nursing. Now this trend is started to decline, for example, 10 years back most nurses come from South India but situation is totally changed. Today, number of nurse’s requirement is high for healthcare sector but students enroll for nursing program is very less.
Where this Problem started?
There are several problems in nursing education and services that lead downfall in nursing profession. We don’t have proper educational monitoring and governance at state level. For instance, there should be regulatory body to look after nursing education and services. We need to have report about nursing education and services for every year so that we can able to find the problems occur in this healthcare sector.
Teaching Staff Shortages
Few years back, most colleges are filled with experienced nursing faculty but recently fresh graduates are allowed to fill positions in colleges as lecturer. Nursing students should be trained by experienced teaching staff otherwise students never exposed to clinical skills and experience. Main reason for shortages of teaching staff is salary; staff receives least amount of salary around Rs. 15,000 for freshers with master degree in nursing and experience get Rs. 20,000. As teaching staff salary is very least when compare to staff nurse in hospital, so most nurses prefer to go hospital. If this condition continues, within few years, most colleges need to shut down. University and Nursing Council should look into this matter and should do something to this problem.
