The National Federation of Nursing Students (Fnesi) welcomes the reform of nursing training but recalls that to “ensure its effectiveness and sustainability, it must be accompanied by significant structural and financial investment in nursing sciences. Fnesi is also calling for the opening of teaching-researcher positions in nursing sciences in each university and the transfer of financial training skills to universities. Communiqué.
Started in October 2023, the re-engineering of the training framework constitutes the culmination of two and a half years of work and social dialogue. These texts represent significant progress for students and were co-constructed with all those involved in training (read our article). This reform anchors the integration of the discipline into
within the University. This is a major step forward for the academic and scientific recognition of our profession. However, this integration should not be considered as an end goal, but as a step.
The FNESI supports the text of the training reform.
The content of the texts alone does not guarantee the proper application of the training reform. To ensure its effectiveness and sustainability, the reform must be accompanied by significant structural and financial investment in nursing sciences. Its implementation under good conditions depends in particular on adequate financing of
universities and the opening of qualified teacher-researcher positions by the CNU-92.
The FNESI is calling for the opening of teaching-researcher positions in nursing sciences in each University.
Today, the financing of nursing training is based on a model built around the regions, which makes this financing illegible. This major institutional development calls for budgetary and structural coherence.
University integration cannot take place sustainably without a funding model that is clarified, secure and adapted to current challenges: development of research, creation of teacher-researcher positions in nursing sciences, improvement of student living conditions.
At a time when the health needs of the population are increasing and the attractiveness of the profession represents a national public health issue, nursing training must benefit from funding that matches its ambitions. It is urgent to adopt funding that is more understandable, more equitable and guarantees the sustainability and quality of training.
The FNESI requests a transfer of financial skills from training to universities.
