Future Nurses Abroad Very Good

Needs of Professional Nurses (Registered Nurse) in the World 2020. Nurse manpower needs in developed countries such as America, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan and the Middle East jumped dramatically since 1980. It is estimated that energy demand in the U.S. in 1980 about 200,000 nurses, and this demand will soar to 500,000 nurse Ditahun 2020 to support the needs of health care in America. For all developed countries over the need for nurses is estimated to reach 1 million nurses by 2020 (Atienza, 2004).

Two main causes of the increasing need for nurses is the aging population of developed countries, first because of the increasing age of the health care needs will also increase, which means increasing needs of Nurses. Second, the declining supply of nurses developed countries because the developed countries younger generation prefers to wrestle the world of business, IT or communications and are not interested to become a nurse again. Other causes of the increasing need for nursing personnel is a natural disaster / riots that occurred in several places in the world, such as the bombing at the World Trade Center bombing in Saudi Arabia, Tsunami, Katrina, and all the riots / of this disaster will increase the need for nursing personnel .

Nursing needs are met by nurses from developing countries who have nursing personnel in accordance with world standards. Three main sources are from the world of nursing tenaqga Phillippine, India and China. Indonesia as the country with the world's fourth largest population, the nursing staff should be able to export in accordance with the needs of the world above.

Why can not we send the nursing staff with world standards above? Nurse Indonesia has so far not able to compete with Philippine nurses and India, because of English as a medium of communication in the country of destination. English is measured by the value of Test IELTS (International English Language Testing System) with Overall value is 6.5. IELTS test consists of four components: a. Hearing (30 minutes), b) Reading (60 minutes), c) Writing (60 minutes), and d) Speaking (15 minutes). In Indonesia IELTS tests are conducted in IDP Education Australia on the road Kuningan Jakarta, and the British Council in Jakarta.

The second factor is the International Nursing Certification. Nurses standards in the world is a graduate of the University who holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and has a Certification RN (Registered Nurse). Nurse RN from India, Malaysia will be recognized certification by the Commonwealth negara2 because standard nursing education has been made equal with international standards. Likewise Phillippine nurse, so they pass their BSN RN took in Philippine Certification that is recognized by the international community. English is not a problem for them, for their daily use English as their second language.

Indonesia has just developed a Bachelor of Nursing program since 5 years ago, and in its education programs separate the Graduate Nursing Education Program (4 years) where graduates hold SKP (Bachelor of Nursing). After graduating from the SKP take Professions Nursing Education Program (1.5 years) who graduate degree nurses. The problem, degree SKP and nurses are only applicable in Indonesia, and is not recognized internationally.

To measure the competence of nurses are graduates of different countries, the United States make the Competency Standards of Nursing by NCLEX-RN Exam (National Council License Examination - Registered Nurse). This exam is for Asia is still done in Hong Kong. This test is to measure the competence of nurses whether they have the knowledge and skills to work at the Hospital in Developed Countries.

In order for our Nurses are able to pass the IELTS with a value of 6.5 and pass the NCLEX-RN exam, we must do several things:

a) Upgrading of professional nurse education standards to conform with International Nurses,
b) Upgrading of clinical skills training nurses to be able to work at International Hospital, and
c) Sending nurses to the Developed Countries in need.
