    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Healthcare Management
    • South African Healthcare System

    Background:

    • Clinical nursing in South Africa is experiencing a significant "brain-drain" as skilled practitioners transition to management and education roles.
    • This shift results in reduced direct patient contact, impacting the quality of clinical care.
    • The current career structure may not adequately incentivize or support clinical nursing practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify key reasons behind the exodus of clinical nurses from direct patient care in South Africa.
    • To propose a more attractive and challenging career structure for clinical nurses.
    • To explore the role of educational preparation, specifically life-skills, in addressing this issue.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of factors contributing to the "brain-drain" in clinical nursing.
    • Proposal of a revised career structure for clinical nursing.
    • Application of a modified Biomatrix approach to nursing education.

    Main Results:

    • Identified two primary reasons for the "brain-drain" of clinical nurses.
    • Suggested a more satisfactory and challenging career structure as a potential solution.
    • Highlighted the need for enhanced educational preparation in essential life-skills for nurse clinicians.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing the "brain-drain" requires structural changes in nursing careers and educational focus.
    • Implementing a framework that fosters self-actualization, competence, and feedback is crucial for nursing students.
    • Reforming clinical nursing career paths and education is essential for the future of healthcare in South Africa.
