Employment direction of nursing specialty

Engaged in clinical nursing, preventive health care, nursing management, nursing teaching and nursing research in the nursing field. After graduating from nursing, you don't have to worry about finding a job, because the social and economic development now requires higher and higher medical industry, and graduates can choose to work in private hospitals and public hospitals according to their own strength. After graduation, the work direction of nursing specialty can also be: baby nurse, private family nurse practice, and go abroad to practice as a nurse with relevant certificates. At present, foreign nurses are well paid and in great demand.

I. Social and medical background

With the most common workplace and counterpart employment direction-hospital, the overall choice is as follows:

1, domestic level 3 (esp. Third-class first-class hospital)

2, two and below the general hospital (including Chinese medicine hospital)

3. Domestic specialized hospitals

4. Community hospitals

5. Foreign hospitals

1 and 2 are more traditional. The working environment and salary of each hospital are different. The most reliable way to know this information is to ask the nurses at home and abroad, women, children, operating rooms and ICU. Of course, generally speaking, operating rooms and surgery are the busiest and have the highest salaries. Of course, hospitals are different from other enterprises in job hunting, and the assigned departments are basically not allowed to choose by themselves. After work, the general direction will not change much. Therefore, the distribution of departments is more arbitrary. The advantage lies in stable work, which is basically an "iron rice bowl". However, in some top three hospitals in big cities, the registered permanent residence will be restricted and local students will be recruited.

There are three specialized hospitals: ENT Hospital, Cancer Hospital and Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, which are divided into public and private hospitals. The treatment is relatively high, but the work content is relatively monotonous. Benefits and account restrictions are the same as above.

Community hospitals are basically relaxed. Most of them don't have to work shifts, have holidays and rest, and the working environment is not stressful. The salary is actually not low. However, generally entering community hospitals requires a certain entry threshold (contacts). However, due to the limited medical conditions and professional development of community hospitals, if they are more enterprising, they may be dissatisfied with their careers.

Foreign-funded hospitals are everywhere in China's big cities (especially in Guangzhou ...), such as Hejia and Shanghai International Medical Center, which have high requirements for English. Unite a family, and now there are management trainees (similar to those in enterprises). Moreover, the management mode is biased towards the management of foreign companies. Nursing specialty can be developed from several fields, such as specialist nurses, nursing management and medical support. And the assessment methods and salary payment of nurses are the same as those of foreign companies. I like the working environment of foreign companies, and I can choose those with suitable personal qualifications. However, the disadvantage is that it is relatively less stable than the public.

In these hospitals, generally speaking, nurses' job responsibilities, job content and social status will not be much different. If you choose to develop in this profession, then good academic qualifications (bachelor degree or above), certain personal connections and outstanding personal abilities ... If you meet these requirements, going up is also a good choice. According to the traditional hospitals that go the most, it is a better direction to take management positions. Undergraduate nurses also serve as clinical teachers, and then step by step on the road of nursing management. Of course, nursing management positions are very limited. If you have empty ambitions and can't realize them, it's embarrassing, orz. So be prepared psychologically.

There are some hospitals that you can pay attention to, that is, hospitals that have obtained international JCI certification, such as Shanghai Children's Medical Center. The styles of these hospitals are all international, including the status and dress of nurses are very different, and they pay more attention to the development of specialized nursing. In addition, these hospitals, including the top three hospitals in Beishangguang, will also have places for nurses to go abroad for training and study, and there are relatively many opportunities. Smaller hospitals are relatively relaxed and less stressful.

Second, the direction of talent flow.

1, hospital (ditto);

2. Medical enterprises (Pfizer, Roche, Medtronic and other large foreign companies) mainly have management trainees, sales and market direction, and nursing specialty also has certain advantages;

3. Vocational education in medical colleges: general schools such as 2 1 1 need a doctor+study abroad experience; Junior college and vocational high school also require master's degree or above.

4. Postgraduate entrance examination, going abroad → changing majors: generally, psychology, nursing and medicine (nutrition ...) are selected more.

5. Medical related media magazines: I heard that Senior Sister went to the publishing house. But now the basic threshold is: master's degree or above.

7. Professions with less professional restrictions, such as sales, clerical work, front desk, store manager ... and some management trainees.

8. Employment (career change) with various certificates: accounting certificate, teacher qualification certificate (generally only for private schools) and tour guide certificate. There are many such cases around.

9, enter the civil service system, institutions (health bureau, blood center) and other stable units. Of course, this requires your own test level and certain contacts.

10, the way of the ox. Many cattle people have no signs of employment. Some seniors went to MSF medical team, so we can only look forward to it. ...

Generally speaking, there are different opinions on the development prospects of the nursing industry. As far as I am concerned, the current employment environment will certainly develop well if I go to the hospital and have good conditions. If your conditions are average, your prospects are average. This is the same as many traditional industries!

Employment prospect of nursing specialty

With the surge in demand for nursing staff in the international medical market, the phenomenon of "nurse shortage" has become increasingly prominent in front of medical circles in various countries. In the coming 10 year, the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan and other countries in the world are in urgent need of 2 million nursing talents, and international human resources companies have turned their attention to China. The shortage of nursing talents in the world has created more opportunities for nurses in China to go abroad and enter the international market for employment. According to experts in the industry, nursing has always been one of the occupations with high status and rich salary in the world. For example, the average annual salary of nurses in the United States is $50,000, while the United States lacks 300,000 nurses. In Australia, it is easy for nurses to find jobs or get promoted. At the same time, as long as you have the qualification of registered nurse in Australia, you can get a "green card" to work in Commonwealth countries. Britain, France, Germany and other western developed countries have many preferential policies for nurses. Therefore, nurses with profound professional knowledge, high comprehensive quality and fluent international communication language have broad international employment and development prospects.

Furthermore, with the transformation of China into an aging society, talents engaged in gerontology will be in great demand in the future, and health care doctors and family nurses will also become hot talents. In recent years, the age structure of China's population has changed with the aging, but the family structure has shown a trend of miniaturization. With the improvement of people's living standards, the disease spectrum of the population has changed, and the demand for chronic disease care has increased; While people attach importance to physical and mental health, their awareness of disease prevention and self-care is also increasing, and community medical care is facing a rare opportunity.

At present, hospitals in many large and medium-sized cities in China have foreign-related clinics, and some joint-venture hospitals and "foreign-funded" hospitals have mushroomed in Beijing and Shanghai. Therefore, if nursing talents have professional knowledge such as nursing, nursing interpersonal communication and nursing etiquette, and also have certain foreign language skills, they will have wider employment options and can engage in foreign-related medical services, international technical cooperation and exchange, data transmission and other work in China.

Someone on Nurse China's Internet left a message saying, "Life is limited. I don't know how much I can do. I realized this many times in Where Are You Going? Cherish it. I will keep going, no matter how difficult it is. " A responsible and caring nurse is an angel in the eyes of patients. Nursing specialty has been listed as a national talent shortage specialty by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and other six ministries, and given key support. The statistical results of the World Health Organization on the health talent resources of member countries show that many countries are in short supply of nursing talents. In China, the number of nurses is far from enough, and the ratio of medical care is seriously unbalanced.

With the development of social economy and the gradual realization of the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the people's demand for health and health services is getting higher and higher. At the same time, the progress of science and technology and the deepening of medical and health service reform put forward higher requirements for the quantity, quality and structure of nursing talents.

Most people choose to work in hospitals after graduation. But most of them are engaged in clinical nursing, and few people can take up management positions after graduation. After working for several years, undergraduate graduates have a better chance to take up management positions (it depends on whether the hospital attaches importance to talents or relationships, or whether the promotion of managers depends entirely on working years and qualifications). All clinical departments in the hospital have undergraduate nursing students. It is up to the hospital to decide which department each person is placed in, but you can tell the nursing department what you think and why you choose the department. Maybe they will consider your opinion. Setting up a major is very important, because the bonuses of different departments are different. Some departments attach importance to undergraduates, and you will have more opportunities.

It is also good to find a teacher position in various medical colleges (junior colleges and technical secondary schools). But the treatment in schools is generally lower than that in hospitals. But the school has winter and summer vacations, which is good, because it is difficult for clinical work to have holidays.

Finally, I want to say that everything depends on personal efforts, and the major is only a background and foundation. You can also combine medical knowledge with the current sunshine industry (Internet) and discover it completely by individuals. The development prospect still depends on your own ideas and vision.
