The nursing profession is going through an unprecedented crisis, in the hospital but also during training: 20% of students drop out of school. In question, “internships, the state of training that no longer meets the current health system, nor the expectations of students or professionals”underlines Manon Morel, president of the National Federation of Nursing Students, who points the finger in particular on reception conditions during internships.
The Federation therefore proposes a review of the training and the establishment of a national evaluation platform “where students could report to the national level what is happening in the services “.
Wave of hospital departures
The wave of departures also affects nurses working in hospitals. “The first reason is the design needs “reveals Thomas Duvernoy, who interviewed more than 1,000 professionals. “It is being able to organize one’s personal and professional life in a balanced way.” The second reason is the organization of the hospital, “managerial heaviness“. Then comes the question of wages.
“These nurses generally leave the hospital with a mixed feeling, very often of guilt towards the teams they are leaving, and at the same time a great relief to leave an increasingly heavy atmosphere”he says.
“The second interesting lesson from our survey is that 58% of interviewed caregivers are ready to return, but not in any condition.“Observes Thomas Duvernoy.
