Abstract:
Nursing education in Poland are developing slowly but steadily in response to changing social needs and emerging healthcare issues. In particular, the immediate demand for more nurses is generating innovation in nursing education and encouraging Polish universities to graduate more nurses. Unfortunately, nursing wages remain low in regards to other professions, which only fuels the nursing shortage. Polish nurses are also facing staffing issues. At times, the nurse-patient ratio is 28 to 1. These working conditions also discourage people from pursuing a career in nursing. Finally, male nurses are rare in Poland. The future of nursing in Poland will be dictated by the Polish government and university systems and their efforts to produce more graduate nurses who can thrive and practice in a more complex, evolving world and who receive competitive pay for their expertise.
