在意大利,护理专业的监管框架提出了关键方面。虽然儿童护士不能为成人提供护理,但新毕业的普通护士可以合法地被分配到新生儿重症监护室,而不必接触过新生儿。意大利的综合性医院几乎总是倾向于雇用普通护士而不是儿童护士,因为前者虽然准备不足,但使护理主任更容易管理员工。意大利儿童护士不仅受到这种情况的惩罚,而且公众对儿童的具体福利和健康需求缺乏兴趣。此外,他们必须保护自己免受意大利护理领导层的一部分,这一领导层定期试图消除儿科护理专业。在一个基本上对儿童护士充满敌意的环境中,尽管如此,决定从事这一职业的年轻人有着非常强烈和持久的动机。
In Italy the regulatory framework of the nursing professions presents critical aspects. While a Children Nurse cannot provide care to an adult, a newly graduated General Nurse can legally be assigned to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit without having ever touched a newborn before. Italian general hospitals with pediatric departments almost always prefer to hire General Nurses rather than Children Nurses, because the former, albeit insufficiently prepared, make staff management easier for nursing directors. Italian Children Nurses are not only penalized by this situation, but also by the public’s lack of interest in the specific wellbeing and health needs of children. In addition, they must defend themselves from a part of the Italian nursing leadership, which periodically tries to eliminate the pediatric nursing profession. In an environment that is essentially hostile to Children Nurses, the young who decide nonetheless to take up this profession have very strong and enduring motivations.
