Nurse turnover rate is
high."Nurse potential” is estimated to be around 600 000 people."Nurse
potential" is people who are not working but is qualified nurse. And practical nurse people are 167,000, the assistant nurse
people are 166,000.In my opinion there are four reasons why so many people
of nurse potential.
The first is young nurse
often they notice that nurse job is not suitable to them. Nursing job is very
busy. So in first year and next year when they started jobs, turnover rate is
high. Over 10% of nurses will retire in less than a year.
In general companies, the new employees often quits their jobs within three
years from they hired.
The second is most
important reason. Nurse is a high rate of woman working. Therefore in Japan,
child care is still woman's job. So many woman is quit the nurse for childbirth
and child care. Although many woman don’t returned to nursing job after
finished childbirth and child care. There are tow reasons. One is that a
nurse's work is long. Overtime and night shift is a
significant burden for mothers with children. The other is the anxious
from blank. Because of the anxiety in contact with the patient in a state that
fully exhausted both physically and mentally, that would cause medical errors,
they will staff turnover. Medical errors lead to death. They were afraid that
trouble.
The three, because salary of nurses have
very low for its severe work. People think that the salary of nurses is very
expensive. Nurse even if it is always said
that labor shortage, the average
annual income has declined year
by year. Many of the medical institutions has deteriorated in terms of management. But nurses are lacking. This is one of the factors that have a high turnover of
nurses.
And last reason is human
relation. The hospital is close to death. So
peoples who both of patients and
health care provider are very nervous. Interaction with colleagues, doctors and patients and a trivial mistake will be a burden to some people.
In fact, the case that led to psychosis
aware of the relationship has been reported.
