Managing Nurses Education

Interesting scrutinize actionstral Java, on Thursday, June 7 and Saturday, 16 June 2007, in Semarang. "Suara Merdeka" proclaim that the action title "Demo Reject D4 Nursing." Basic nurse education regulation is the order of professionalism and globalization. Professionalism requires a nurse must complete the academic and professional education, as other health professions that have been developed, such as doctor, dentist, pharmacist, and psychologist.

Currently most of the nurse education is vokasional (D3 Nursing), part of a small ners and specialists. Even still have the SPK (at the senior secondary school). The lack of nurse education, a cause of the low quality of nursing and nurse our competitiveness compared to foreign nurses. In fact, the number of health professionals is a nurse.

Low nurse education can not be separated from the history of its development. The development of nursing in nursing services adopted in the Netherlands, the professional nurse of birth because of humanitarian services, such as nuns. Therefore, nursing education less developed compared with the Commonwealth countries.

In the UK, nursing education has grown through the university since 1868. Thus, the framework of professionalism and service is very nursing forward.

In Indonesia, designed to help nurses, doctors, so that the role and functions of the nursing shifts. MOH and the results of research, University of Indonesia (UI) shows more than 90% nurses perform tasks non nursing (set of disease diagnosis, prescription drugs create, take action treatment). Only 50% who do care nursing in accordance with the role and functions.Competency Test

On the other hand, the International Council of Nursing (ICN) requires a nurse to provide services that will have to go through certification and testing competency to obtain a register nurse (RN). RN to test, a person must complete the education ners. Thus, the international standard of basic education must be professional nurse education ners. Nurses who pass the RN have the right to work in all countries. At this time we nurse difficult entry to another country because they do not have the RN.

When we have nurses who work in Middle Eastern countries, they are a nurse vokasional. Development lower than India or the Philippines nurse, who has been certified internationally.

Similarly nurse regulations in the country. Many foreign nurses who will go to Indonesia. They have a high standard of competence and moral responsibility of both. If we do not anticipate, then their presence can be a threat to us, and we will be guests in their own country. In order to anticipate the threat, the regulation required higher education system of good nursing.

Education flows

Basic Indonesian National Nurses Union (PPNI) and managing the type of nursing education is the Law (UU) 20/2003 on National Education System. To become a professional nurse (RN), graduates high school education should be academic and S1 Nursing Profession Ners. But if you want to become a nurse vokasional, (primary nurse) can take the D3 Nursing / Nursing Academy.

SPK graduates who still want to be a nurse should be immediately or directly to the D3 to S1 Nursing. Furthermore, D3 Nursing graduates can continue to S1 and Nursing Ners. Education from S1 and Ners, new to the Masters in Nursing / Doctor and specialist / consultants. Expected in 2015, most of the nursing staff is S1 Nursing and Ners. Therefore, expect very PPNI nurse education vokasional forward to S1 and Nursing Ners.

Professional Education

There are several reasons why there is no level D4 Nursing? First, the demands and needs of professional nurses in the era of globalization. Nurses are professionals, as in the declaration lokarkarya national in 1983. Basic education must be education professionals.

Second, the more types and levels of education vokasional nurse will make the interest. The difference between the competence and authority of D3, D4, and Ners how? Third, if the study will continue, after the pass to which D4? No transfer of education from D4 to S1 Nursing.

Many graduates Undip D4 Nurse Educators (now closed) must continue to S1 with the D3 Nursing.

Differences of views between the elite PPNI the right and set the type of education as a nurse with the education provider D4 Nursing, need to be completed. PPNI defend idealism and professionalism that the existence and recognition of the profession is increasing in the eyes and other professional communities.

Meanwhile, the government has Politeknik Health (Poltekes) in many provinces the color quality of our nurses, despite the existence Poltekes which is managed by the Ministry of Health is not education as a service mandated by law.

The real difference, when there is the desire that the recruitment of civil servants in the future prioritize D4 Nursing graduates. Where S1 Nursing students after graduating? Perhaps it is the struggle by S1 Nursing Alliance BEM all Indonesia. Arogansi each will only aggravate a situation that will affect the nursing service.

Many of the profession has grown and developed well. Professional organizations to manage both their profession. Already as a profession is given the opportunity to also develop the framework of norms and professionalism, so that competitiveness Nursing human resources capable to compete with other professions.
