美國護士有100種工作(What Kind of Jobs can Nursing do in US)

馮莉莉教授,美國注冊護士、醫(yī)護師、計算機學位等身份,她一直在學習在進步,這次是20多年來首次回國參加我們舉辦的會議。

在幾年前就與馮老師在討論國內外護理的拓展問題,對比國內和美國的特點,或許有借鑒學習的地方,很多時候越聊越深入,因此每次交流都到半夜,其實,她在美國,我們在地球的兩面交流,雖然有微信這樣的通訊工具,但有些內容也沒辦法在微信說清楚。

特別是談到職業(yè)拓展的問題,很多人都只覺得,學護理,一輩子就是臨床上的小護士了。其實不是,看馮老師的身份,已經(jīng)是跨專業(yè)甚至是跨界了,哪怕是我,也都從事教師、管理網(wǎng)站、呆過手術室、還是醫(yī)療互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的產(chǎn)品經(jīng)理,也算是跨了不少行業(yè)。

在設計護士筆記APP的護士身份分類時,當時就把護士可拓展的直接總結為以下十幾個

當然,上面的??谱o士很多還沒發(fā)展完善,甚至是才開始在國內實行。

今天看了馮老師的PPT,美國居然有100種護士職業(yè),而且,每種都有相應的考取方式。

有100項護理分支,不一定都適合國內,但可以肯定的是,這是護理行業(yè)發(fā)展的趨勢,高學歷,高專業(yè)的學科。

所以,這里的一百項我們并不適用,我會在接下來的時間用一篇文章介紹,國內護理人員應該向哪個領域發(fā)展或??品较虬l(fā)展。

本人英文水平一般,大家可以用翻譯器翻譯這100項內容吧,在此感謝馮老師的授權發(fā)布的總結
