Rumours manifest themselves faster than facts in the nursing profession and we let them happen as well. Nursing is characterised by legal regulations in which the scope for interpretation can sometimes be extensive, yet in other cases entirely non-existent. The Act on Nursing Care in its current form is the no. 1 chance to prevent a crisis in nursing.
The expansion of competences of carers in medical diagnostics and therapy require on the one hand a technical competence in nursing and on the other hand collaborations with other professional groups. However, the Act on Nursing Care is just the beginning and knowledge can be gained faster in today’s world than ever before.
We just have to do it.
