Nationalized Healthcare Is it Good For Nurses
Last week we talked a little bit about national health care systems, from the perspective of a patient who was abusing the system. We saw how, because she was committing fraud she was blacklisted from hospitals. Because of this when she actually needed treatment for a real diagnosis of cancer she was unable to get the care and died within a couple of months. Usually, when we talk about national health care systems the conversation is from the patient's perspective. This week we are going to change perspectives.
This week I want you to research national health care systems from a nursing career outlook. What is it like to be a nurse in a country that has a national health care system? What are the salary, benefits, and working conditions? How do nurses' rate their job satisfaction? For this discussion board post, you may use scholarly articles but you may also use blog posts and other first-hand accounts from nurses. Also, don't forget there are many countries with national health care systems so you can research more than 1 and compare and contrast.
