The standards of Albanian nursing in compliance with EU requests

Speaker at Nursing Conferences - Irena Laska
Albanian Order of Nurses, Albania
Title : The standards of Albanian nursing in compliance with EU requests

Abstract:

Nursing in Albania, as in the whole world, is a profession that brings satisfaction, tiredness and a lot of challenges. These challenges in Albania are bigger than anywhere else as the consequence of the lack of organization in the nursing profession, starting with the way of education, the way of recruitment of the nurses and their professional competencies, which have a negative impact in the quality of the healthcare system. Nursing basic education in Albania had changed its form time after time and this had made the nurses feeling confused about the diploma they own at the end of their studies; the curriculums of nursing schools are not unified; recruitment and the academic level of the professors, let you wish for better; mentoring and leadership in nursing are unknown concepts. Albanian nursing has to face a lot of challenges and have to solve a lot of problems before fulfilling the standards to become part of EU. The configuration of the future generations of nurses, through the strong leadership and mentoring in the nursing field is an imperative duty.
