Abstract:
The constant progresses of healthcare technology and the appearance and development of new medical fields need nurses with new skills.
A good knowledge of any medical specialty is not enough anymore because nurses need to understand the application of the new work instruments.
Professional nurses are asked to widen their abilities and to have a perfect knowledge of human rights, social relationships, healthcare law, marketing, automation and so on.
The future healthcare field imagines two different types of nurses: registered nurses able to manage many different issues regarding particular medical fields and practical nurses able to manage the relationships with the patient and his family.
Another important challenge for the future nurses is to possess the right knowledge to make a good prevention because changing the present combination “illness-therapy” with the new combination “healthy-prevention” is crucial.
One more challenge to be faced is to grant patients easier access to health facilities which will have to be within easy reach and this will also change the role of the nurses.
It’s a big challenge and nurses must be prepared to a professional future that is way different from what their job consists of today
