Nurses are currently in high demand among employers in the Belarusian labor market.
Their demand is also demonstrated by the fact that the state employment service database alone contains over 4,000 current vacancies.
Yes, specialists are considered mid-level medical personnel, but senior medical personnel, i.e. doctors, cannot do without their work.
Specificity
There is no need to say once again that the health and life of a patient often depend on the professional actions of a nurse.
In this regard, a specific feature of the profession, of course, is the enormous responsibility in the work of these specialists.
The second specific feature is that in order to be employed as a nurse, a candidate for the position must have a specialized secondary education (“Nursing”, “General Medicine”).
The third specific feature is the extreme breadth of tasks performed by workers.
For this reason, the nurse's activities are "broken down" into several highly specialized areas.
Classification
Open today:
– district nurse – assists the doctor in the clinic;
- visiting nurse - usually works in anti-tuberculosis, dermatovenerologic, and psychoneurological dispensaries;
- procedural nurse - performs various procedures, for example, those related to blood sampling and intravenous administration of drugs;
– ward nurse – works with patients in hospitals, monitors their compliance with prescribed treatment procedures, medication intake, etc.;
- operating room nurse - essentially, is an assistant to the surgeon during the operations he performs.
In addition, the profession is further subdivided into categories such as junior and senior nurse.
The main difference between the latter and the former is that, among other things, they are engaged in organizational activities, including coordinating the work of other nurses.
The head nurse also draws up duty schedules, monitors the receipt and expenditure of medicines and medical equipment, works with documents, etc.
Working conditions
Directly related to the place of work: hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, sanatoriums, ambulance teams, kindergartens, schools, enterprises, military units, etc.
Each of the listed places of work has its own conditions.
Therefore, the activities of a nurse, say, in a hospital, may differ to some extent from activities in a school, at a company or in a sports organization.
The most important thing for every nurse in any place of work is caring for patients.
The specialist constantly monitors their condition, watches how the procedures prescribed by the doctor are carried out, collects tests, sterilizes instruments, etc.
Often, a nurse's working conditions involve flexible hours, alternating day and night shifts, and the need to work on weekends and holidays.
Salaries
Recently, Belarusian nurses have been offered wages in a fairly wide range - from a minimum of 626 to a maximum of 2,500 rubles.
Again, these figures are based on the vacancies available in the NHS database .
For example, the Svyetlogorsk District Youth Sports School No. 1 and the AzotService enterprise (Grodno) hire specialists for the minimum wage.
The same amount of money is offered by the Mozyr social boarding house "Zhivopisny", but here we are talking about 0.25 of a position (in another vacancy of the organization - half a position).
Most often, nurses today are offered salaries ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 rubles.
In particular, Vitebsk State Medical University is inviting a specialist to work for it, promising from 1,000 to 1,100 rubles.
The Minsk Youth Sports School for Water Sports will provide a salary of 1,050 to 1,100 rubles.
The capital's 22nd city polyclinic will prescribe from 1,050 to 1,150 rubles for the senior nurse of the dental department.
Exactly 1,500 rubles is the salary for a nurse from the 592nd Military Clinical Medical Center (Borisov).
The highest salaries are from 2,000 to 2,500 rubles.
Thus, exactly two thousand are listed in the vacancy announcement of the Republican Hospital of the Department of Finance and Logistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus (Minsk).
A salary of 2,500 rubles has been promised to the leading nurse of OOO Tri Dentista Plus (Minsk).
