The article "http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8355388.stm" on the BBC news tells the changing the requirement for becoming nurse in England.
According to the article, the Department of Health in English has announced that all new nurses from 2013 will be required to spend at least three years' training to degree level. They said that it would help nurses to treat complex patients more safety and effectively. The main point of this changing is that it gives nurse' students opportunities of community health experiences, instead of giving only a combination of theoretical and practical work in current training. For this changing, Dr. Peter Carter who is general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) descibes this movement as "an important and historic development". Besides, Michael Summers, who is vice-chairman of the Patients Association, said "I don't think anybody could really complain about nursing being taught to a high level," with showing his agreement. ("Nursing to become graduate entry",2009,Clinical knowledge,¶8)
Although those experts welcome the move, I don't think this movement encaurages all nueses in England. Actually, I have a sister who is a nurse and I know how hard to be a nurse in Japan. I don't know how the situation of nurses is different between England and Japan, but I concerned that it might cause a shortage of nurses because of the restrict. Even though, Dr. Carter says, "the move was not designed to restrict entry to the nursing profession."("Nursing to become graduate entry",2009,Clinical knowledge,¶4), it's sure this change requires students to spend extra years to be a nurse. It means they can't earn their living as well as nurses. Who supports the their lives at that term? The Department of Health in English should consider those situations before they carry out the program.
