The pressure of nurses

5. 12 international nurses' day is coming every year, and the word nurse has become the focus of media and public attention. In some people's eyes, the nurse is angels in white, pure and beautiful; In some people's eyes, nurses are just junior workers engaged in simple work such as injection and medicine distribution. At the critical moment of current medical reform in China, as the largest professional group among medical practitioners, it seems a little silent.

However, we will still learn some reports about nurses from the media: Ding Aimei, head nurse of Anhui Province, died of overwork at the end of 2005, and Zhang Deli, head nurse of Chengdu Children's Hospital, resigned in tears in September 2006 due to excessive pressure and tense doctor-patient relationship; On June 5438+February, 2006, Head Nurse Chen of the North District of Suzhou Municipal Hospital committed suicide by jumping off a building due to excessive pressure. In April 2007, a nurse in Shanghai Meishan Hospital fell from the dormitory building. The cause of suicide is still stress. ...

Accompanied by this, practitioners in the industry constantly report that there is a serious shortage of nurses in China, nurses are under too much work pressure, and angels in white has lost her wings. Karoshi, depression, suicide and other things that should not be borne by angels are constantly appearing in front of us, and tragedies are still happening. If the status quo is not changed, Ding Aimei is not the first one to die of karoshi, nor will she be the last one. On the International Nurses' Day in 2006, a slightly ridiculous article "Notice on Don't Let Nurses Exhauste" written by Run Sun, the stationmaster of China Nurse Network, caused a great sensation among nurses, with more than 6,543,800 hits and thousands of related comments. Notices are circulated among nurses, and countless nurses are eager for them to become a real reality, but it seems far away ... In addition to giving them attention on Nurses' Day, society should also pay more attention to these issues in peacetime.
