The fluctuation of nursing staff in the medical facilities is not just current problem in the Czech Republic. Aging population will present higher demand for number of nursing staff. It is assumed that the insufficient number of nursing staff will remain and even rise (also due to aging of the staff) if appropriate actions are not taken (Simoens et al., 2005).

The Issue Of Nurse Profession In The Point Of View Of Nurses Over 50'
TÁBORSKÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis called "The Issue Of Nurse Profession In The Point Of View Of Nurses Over 50'" is divided into two parts, a theoretical part and a practical part. Throughout the theoretical part, attention is focused on defining the following terms: nursing, nursing profession, the development of nurses´ education, and describing the difficulty of nursing profession. The aim of this bachelor thesis has been to find out what the personal experience of nurses aged 50 and over have been with changes in nursing profession. Further, it has been to find out what problems they encounter, carrying out their job of a nurse aged 50 and over. To define the difficulty of nursing profession from the nurses´ personal erspective, and to map out the individual periods of professional carreer in nurses aged 50 and over. 12 general nurses have taken part in the research, out of which 6 were working in leading positions, working in bed wards or ambulatory parts of hospitals in České Budějovice, and Prachatice. The practical part used a qualitative research strategy, a questioning method, and an in-depth interview became the data collecting technique. The information obtained was analysed, using open-coding and the pen-paper method. 5 categories and 5 subcategories arose within the data categorization. The thesis results clearly prove that nurses are limited by their age when carrying out this profession, both physically and mentally. The findings also point to the fact that nurses understand their profession not to be so prestigious, one of the many aspects of which is the current educative system for nurses. Another problem of the current form points to the fact that there is not enough time to be devoted to the patient. One of the many reasons is indeed the lack of nurses in the Czech Republic. Nursing profession is a complex that consists of many parts. Progress or stagnation in nursing profession depend on the system of education which is currently in a period of amendment.
