The nurses and physios that were formed in the year and the private: “The stigma …”

A study at a private university Health sciences It is often associated with more special attention, multidisciplinary education and better job opportunities at the end of studies. However, in some cases, stereotypes prevail over reality in specific professional sectors such as health.

This can be observed through the experiences of two professionals whose fields of work are especially related due to the new law of medicines and health products, which give nurses and physiotherapists the ability to prescribe some medications within their competencies.

Luis CastelanosThe MPRESSPA physiotherapist managed to develop his career in the public domain after training at a private university. He says, “The main difference I have noticed between education in public and private universities is the most customized treatment that is received in private sectors, due to smaller groups.” However, this is clear in terms of demand and academic level. There is no difference. “Upon entering the work world, I have not received any preference treatment.”

On the other side, Pablo AlonsoA nurse trained in a public university and currently working in private health in Seville, who did not suffer from a discrimination for her teacher. “Not at all, I have many nurses who, in reverse, are trained in private universities and have not faced any problems to find work,” he says.

Both are agreed that, along with training, what is happening is a vocational experience and the ability to adapt to the sector’s requirements.

Different treatment?

“In the natural therapeutic field, I do not think it is taking into account if it comes from one place or another,” says Castelanus. “Maybe in doctors differ, Be careful with greater responsibility. “

This is where they gain weight Words of the first vice president of the government and the Minister of FinanceMaria Jesus Montero, who raised blisters in the private sector by reference a few weeks ago that the doctors who study and form private universities “do not provide guarantees.”

“Satent shame stain “For those who feel harmful because of his studies in the private sector, as is the case, it works in the public sector,” says a physiotherapist. I never felt less or more than anyone else. It is true that some patients were interested in training us, but there is nothing further than having a professional reference to treat them. “

For Alonso, there is no stigma or a difference in treatment towards the toilets that were formed in the public against those who were separately. “Despite what people think, In public health there are more resourcesBoth health materials, surgical materials, surgical materials, more personal … etc. that can prefer to train university students studying nursing in this sector.

Combining the two sectors

“In the professional sector, In the end, we ended up being the same as each other“A physiotherapist says.” There are many doctors working in the hospital and then pass their own consultations at another center. “

In this sense, the nurse says it is from his experience, “Most of the young nurses I know They combine the private sector and the publicThat is, they work on both sites at the same time. “It is usually the justification that the type of contracts provided by public health does not provide any kind of stability, because it ultimately can be” up to “days or weeks.”

Regarding the public order, Alonso notes that “it does not matter if you have studied at the public or private university because employment is governed by work shares and A completely neutral system. “

“On the contrary, if it is correct to study separately, you can practice health practices in hospitals or private clinics whose employment is more direct.” “If you have certain contacts, it will be easier in the end“The nurse says.” From my experience, the other alternative that remains is special, although the difference is between 500 euros less and the proportion of the nurse/patient is much worse than it was in public hospitals. “

“In the end, the work in each service is completely different and we are bound to adapt quickly to be able to provide the best attention to our patients,” he says. The two professors agree that in the end, Performing every profession is something that affects everyone“Regardless of whether we had studied at a public or private university.”
