The autonomy of nurses in several countries
Good evening! Here in Brazil the nurse also needs to be tied to an institution to perform its functions. Autonomy always be supported by protocols or institutional bylaws. Of all the health professionals who work in Brazil, such as doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, nutritionists, psychologists, speech therapists, etc.. the only one who can not work as autonomous is the nurse. There is a branch known as home care where the nurse can be the entrepreneur, but to perform their functions, need to be bound by this company. In the area of public health needs of protocols defined by the ministry of health to perform their functions. There are some colleagues who were more daring, have opened offices to serve the population in need of healing, acumputura, low-risk pregnancy, but the medical board always try to discredit our services.

The autonomy of nurses in several countries
Good Night, Dear friends! I want to talk about the autonomy of nurses, about some procedures. In some countries, the nurse's assistance is limited and must be linked to an institution to perform its function, in others, as well as assistance, it has the autonomy to make deliveries, acumputura, implantation of catheters, etc.. And in different countries may also be the nurse anesthetist. What are the countries that the nurse anesthetist may be? What degree of autonomy of nurses in your country? Do you think that now the nurse has recognition in society as other professionals have, for example doctors, dentists, etc.? I want to hear what my friends nurses have to say about it.

Afraid of Nursing as a Male?
