What is at Stake

nursingpartnership

There is a shortage of more than 10 million healthcare workers worldwide (WHO). Low-income countries bear the burden of 70% of that shortage, while the few available health workers are seeking opportunities in more developed countries primarily because there is not enough work available in their countries. It is difficult to push for the creation of the desperately needed programs and schools if there is no program available to accompany those who have already graduated and are struggling to survive while their communities lack basic healthcare services. 

NurseHab is a new start-up for-profit organization that is selling Laundry Bags, products that are needed and are relatable to nurses’ work. A significant portion of the benefits from the sales will go toward funding International Nursing Partnerships’ programs.  

Shop on NurseHab and take a picture of the laundry bag with your laundry basket, add any recommendations you may have, send it to us at info@nursingpartnership.org.

International Nursing Partnership current programs are:

– Sharing the professional experiences of nurses, their motivation, and source resilience

– Sending books to nursing schools in need

– Connecting nurse-led projects with resources

– Providing entrepreneurship coaching to nurses in low-income countries

Why the Need to Empower Nurses to be Community Health Leaders

nursingpartnership

In developing, the number of healthcare workers is higher than what the government can employ but low to respond effectively to healthcare demands. New graduates can stay unemployed for years due to a feeble private health sector. On the other hand, there are a lot of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), but with limited access to funding and other resources. 

These are very dynamic people that if given the right support will go above and beyond expectation. If let to themselves without resources lose their sense of service and fighting spirit. That is why International Nursing Partnership’s program aims to provide a platform that will link them the necessary resources to keep them engaged and empowered to help address their communities’ health concerns. 

They develop leadership qualities when they collaborate directly with the populations they serve, their traditional leaders, elected officials, NGOs, and local businesses to proactively identify the needs, practical solutions, and ways to keep their programs sustainable.

Concepts in Health, Nursing, and Management

On International Nursing Partnership – YouTube channel, we are creating a platform where healthcare workers, particularly nurses can share their professional journeys, what challenges they have met, how they were able to overcome those challenges, and build resilience overtime, and where they can also share their areas of expertise. The objective is for them to learn from each other and for the younger generations of healthcare professionals to learn from their experiences.
