About 1,000 nurses and others reinstated at 4:11 on July 2 in response to the spread of new corona infection
In order to respond to the spread of new coronavirus infection, the Japan Nursing Association has requested that retired nurses, etc., return to work, but so far about 1,000 have returned to work, of which 40% are accommodation for people with mild illness. It turned out that we responded on the spot.
The Nursing Association of Japan was worried that there would be a shortage of nurses in the medical field due to the spread of the new coronavirus.Therefore, from April, about 50,000 people including retired nurses, associate nurses and public health nurses will be reinstated. I was asking.
According to the association, 996 people have returned to work by the end of last month, which means about 60% of the 1,600 job offers received from hospitals and local governments.
The association says that medical care is not currently under pressure, but we will continue to provide training and other support to help employees return to work in case of the next outbreak.
Toshiko Fukui, Chairman of the Japan Nursing Association, said, “We will make preparations to prevent the collapse of medical care in the event of the next epidemic. I would also like to ask for your cooperation."
