It is health news these days to have brought to the fore a figure that has long existed in the care context of other countries such as England, for example, whose introduction here in Italy would seem to be able to solve all the problems related to care.
We have therefore reached the threshold of the miraculous or the fanciful.
The Anglo-Saxon definition of “nurse assistant” is used because perhaps by defining it this way one can be fascinated by the language but not by what it contains. It would not be an OSS, nor a real nurse, one would say a hybrid between the two care figures, which according to the etymology would not return in our language the same nobility as in English (animal or plant individual coming from a cross between parents belonging to different breeds or different species).
The nursing audience is murmuring, but someone was quick to silence the rumors at birth, considering them out of place and caused by a lack of understanding, that is, not understanding the futuristic solution or solutions that this hybrid would bring to the care context. Obviously, we too can't wait to learn about these problem-solving abilities.
Then there are those who wrote that this figure has not been adequately explained within a communication channel that should or will have to materialize correctly and exhaustively. I would suggest that those who have such brilliant ideas to inject into the NHS should worry in advance about being able to count on correct and adequate communication, so as to avoid verbal agitation later considered out of place because motivated by a lack or incorrect understanding, the cause of which, however, is not attributable to those who acted it out. Contortions that in any case do not help to clarify what is being proposed.
It would not be surprising if, as has happened in the past, pages of FAQs appear on some renowned website to explain to us what we have not been able to understand.
Personally, I would consider adequate in our language a simple and immediate definition such as “generic nurse 2.0”, since the ancient role of simple "generic nurse" now obsolete, is certainly no longer usable, so with a nice coat of paint and a good varnish it is re-proposed in digital version, but if it was a figure that was allowed to fade away in a not so distant past, why should it be exhumed today as a generator of new and unthinkable, until yesterday, solutions?
