The nurse is no longer just an executor. Excluding the embarrassing salary and the status still as employees and not as Managers, their role has profoundly evolved, taking on the role of intellectual professional, able to integrate and correct medical therapy, monitor patients, perform blood draws, swabs, dressings, and much more. A complex and risky job, the nurse lives in a hectic reality, where they often find themselves managing a number of patients higher than international recommendations, with the risk of errors that can have serious consequences. 350,000 complaints per year against doctors, nurses, and midwives. Responsibility and pay not aligned. Italian law recognizes the nurse as an intellectual professional. Yet, paradoxically, the salary received does not reflect the complexity and responsibility of the work performed. A system that penalizes and oppresses, in fact frequently, the nurse finds themselves working "between a rock and a hard place," under pressure from both doctors and management, as well as from relatives. A necessary insurance. Even a small error can have dramatic consequences. The obligation of insurance for gross negligence, third-party liability, and legal protection is a fundamental step. 35,000 compensation claims per year with very high legal costs, compared to a disproportionate salary. Remember, colleague, that the fight for the recognition of the nursing profession is an important battle that requires everyone's commitment. Let us continue to raise awareness among colleagues, the public opinion, and put pressure on politics to achieve the change we deserve. Nursing Up Emilia Romagna needs you.
