The domination of women in the nursing profession and the numerous challenges faced by the workforce are major concerns. Being a woman, a nurse is responsible not only for her job but also for her family. Irrespective of the calls made for gender equality across the globe, today women still shoulder a greater share of household responsibility. A peculiarity of nursing work is the huge demands put on employees' physical and mental health. They are affected on both the occupational and personal fronts. The journey of a nursing professional is not easy and brings a range of challenges that need to be addressed urgently. This will help dissuade nurses from emigrating to foreign lands and save them from burnout and job turnover. Countries across the globe are reeling under the shortage of nurses and the situation will only worsen if action is not taken in timeV članku raziskujemo različne vidike poklicnega življenja medicinske sestre. Zanimajo nas zlasti dejstvo, da v poklicu medicinske sestre prevladujejo ženske, in številni izzivi, s katerimi se soočajo delavke v tem poklicu. Kot ženska medicinska sestra ni odgovorna le za svoj poklic, temveč tudi za družino. Kljub globalnemu pozivanju k enakosti spolov, ženske še vedno nosijo na svojih ramenih levji delež odgovornosti za gospodinjstvo. Posebnost poklica medicinske sestre je, da je zelo obremenjujoč za fizično in duševno zdravje zaposlenih, ki so obremenjene tako poklicno kot s skrbjo za družino. Poklicna pot medicinske sestre ni lahka in jo spremljajo številni izzivi, ki jih je potrebno nemudoma nasloviti, saj lahko le tako preprečimo migracijo medicinskih sester v tujino, njihovo poklicno izgorelost in pogoste menjave osebja. Države po vsem svetu se spoprijemajo s pomanjkanjem medicinskih sester, in če ne bomo pravočasno ukrepali, se bo stanje še poslabšaloTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
