First, the demand for nursing talents
In China, the number of nurses is far from enough, and the ratio of medical care is seriously unbalanced. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Health, the ratio of doctors and nurses in hospitals in China is 1: 2, and that in important departments should be 1: 4. The current ratio of 1: 0.6 1 in China is far from the requirements of the Ministry of Health, far from the international level of 1:2.7, and far from the ratio of 1: 8.5 in developed countries. At present, the total number of nurses in China is 6.5438+0.3078 million, and the total number of doctors is 2.0997 million. According to the minimum medical allocation of the Ministry of Health, the number of nurses is nearly 3 million.
In the next 10 year, the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan and other countries in the world will urgently need 2 million nursing talents. International human resources companies have set their sights on 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.
Second, the employment prospects of foreign-related nursing majors
The continuous shortage of nurses forces the US government to provide preferential conditions to attract foreign nurses, including obtaining green cards, so that nurses all over the world have the opportunity to immigrate to the United States and get high-paying jobs. Article 343 published by the US Immigration Bureau lists nurses who have passed CGNFS or NCLEX(RN) as the first priority to get a green card, and they can get a green card to work in the United States as soon as half a year. In August 2002, US President Bush also signed the "Nurse Reinvestment Clause". Therefore, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that it would provide 30 million dollars, and the state governments also actively allocated funds. Coupled with the participation of local hospital matching funds, it can provide bonuses, grants or subsidies up to 80% of tuition fees, encourage current RN (registered nurses) to continue their studies or attend nursing research institutes, and make you a high-level professional nursing practitioner after obtaining a master's degree in nursing diagnosis.
Possibility and key of training international nurses
China has a large population, and there are relatively many nursing professionals. There are many nursing schools and many students in China. There are various levels of nursing majors in China, including three-year and four-year nursing secondary schools, five-year junior high schools and three-year senior high schools. There are also undergraduate and graduate nursing students. By analyzing the situation of nurses working abroad, it is known that the professional knowledge level of nurses in China can meet the requirements of overseas employment. Moreover, China people are hardworking, diligent, honest and caring, which are also important factors valued by many international medical institutions.
Despite the large demand and attractive salary, the current situation of nurse output in China is not optimistic. According to Professor Wu, Dean of the School of International Nursing of Shanghai Second Medical University, although European and American countries have different requirements for overseas nurses, the basic requirements are the same: First, the entry threshold is to have a three-year nursing degree and a high foreign language level; Secondly, we must pass the registered nurse qualification examination. Experts concluded that being a nurse overseas requires not only solid knowledge, but also certain communication skills with customers. Failing English and passing the registered nurse qualification examination are the main reasons for almost all unsuccessful cases of overseas nurses. Therefore, strengthening English has become the key for nursing talents in China to go abroad for employment.
Fourth, the adjustment of the curriculum.
According to the demand of international nursing talents, the most important thing to analyze the actual level of nurses in China is to pass the "English Pass". China students have offered English classes since junior high school, which is a long time. However, in the process of English learning, there are deviations, one-sided pursuit of written test results, and students' oral and listening levels are poor. However, as a nursing major going abroad for employment, the working environment requires high language communication skills, so speaking and listening become the key. Nursing majors must pass CGFNS or RN exams when they go to the United States for employment. Within two years, their IELTS score must reach 7.0 and their oral English score must reach 50. Through the investigation and analysis of foreign-related nursing schools in China, the experience of other schools was used for reference. The curriculum of foreign-related nursing specialty highlights the foreign-related characteristics of higher vocational colleges. On the basis of retaining the necessary cultural courses, a large number of English courses have been set up, the teaching goal of breaking through the language has been established, and a curriculum system centered on cultivating practical talents has been established. Cultivate students' nursing operation ability, computer operation ability and language communication ability (oral English, audio-visual ability, reading ability, translation and writing ability, etc. )
Fifth, classroom teaching focuses on intensive teaching and more practice.
According to the teaching plan, in the design of curriculum system, theoretical courses should be "sufficient", the proportion of practical courses should be increased, and pertinence and practicality should be reflected. Taking students as the main body in teaching, such as clarifying students' position in English teaching, overcoming the traditional foreign language teaching that emphasizes teachers over students, teaching over learning, theory over training, and emphasizing language application ability. In classroom teaching, the teaching time is greatly reduced (about13 class hours) and the practice time is greatly increased (about 2/3 class hours). Each class is not required to speak more, but to speak more accurately, so we should speak more carefully and practice more, and pay attention to the quality of knowledge that students "master".
Sixth, pay attention to extracurricular activities.
China students set up foreign languages earlier, but many of them have poor language skills. One of the main reasons is the lack of language environment. Language can only be continuously improved if it is constantly used in communication with people. Therefore, when learning English, we should pay attention to the time of extracurricular English activities and strive to create a language environment for students. For example, on the basis of normal teaching, increase a lot of English activities, such as imitation, listening, story meeting, two-person oral English and other special listening and oral training. In learning, we should pay attention to cultivating students' interest in learning and let them apply the language they have learned to all aspects of life.
With the sharp increase in the demand for nursing staff in the international medical market, the phenomenon of "nurse shortage" has become increasingly prominent in front of the medical circles in various countries. 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 should be 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.
