Plans for working abroad and career preferences among nursing students in Hungary
Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2010, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
[b]Aim[/b]. The aim of the present study was to gain an objective evaluation of female nursing students’ future work expectations in the context of a national labour market recently integrated with the EU.[b]Material and method[/b]. This study is based on cross-sectional quantitative surveys among female nursing college students in Hungary. There were 267 students invited to participate (41 refused, response rate 84.6%).[b]Results[/b]. Nearly two in ten nursing students (78.3%) taking part in the survey rejected work as a nurse in the future. Those who indicated plans for working abroad (57.0%) were statistically related to several other variables as well. Students were influenced by their pessimistic future expectations, by perceived difficulties in maintaining a present partnership or finding a partner, by opportunities of learning a foreign language in a native environment, and by being a home owner at the time of the survey in Hungary. Future plans that were either extremely career-oriented or extremely child-centred were dismissed by a large percentage of the students.[b]Conclusion[/b]. According to our results the nursing workforce migration will escalate in the future, creating additional disadvantages for the Hungarian health care system.
