The first state nursing chamber (Rhineland-Palatinate) has begun its work; others (Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony) are in the founding phase. In other federal states (Berlin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), positive votes have already been cast. The establishment of a federal nursing chamber is always the goal. It aims to represent the interests of nurses at the federal level and also influence the quality and training of nurses. This book is based on the master's thesis of Ursula Jendrsczok (graded "very good"). It outlines the path to the federal nursing chamber, identifies its goals and tasks, and discusses the opportunities and risks of such a foundation. In short: The first book on the federal nursing chamber. A guide for politically interested nurses, professional associations, and others. The path to self-administration for nurses - requirements and solutions.
