The company informs the international qualified nurse in an audience-appropriate way about the existence and tasks of professional and specialist associations and how they can find out more about them.
- What do we mean by professional and specialist associations in nursing?
A professional association is a free and independent representation of interests. The members of a professional association pursue the same or related professions.
Here the interests of the numerous workers are pooled. Through this pooling of interests, demands vis-à-vis employers or the public can more easily be enforced.
- What tasks do professional and specialist associations in nursing have?
Professional associations represent the interests and wishes of their members with regard to the way the nursing profession is practised.
The members’ interests may among other things be of an economic, legal social or societal nature.
Are you looking for advice on legal questions, for example? Then a professional association could help you. Further examples here:
