WHERE WILL BE BROUGHT HIGHER EDUCATION NURSING IN INDONESIA? Nursing is a profession, within which there is a clear body of knowledge.

Nursing profession has a strong educational foundation, so it can be developed as high. This leads to the Nursing Profession is always expected to develop themselves and actively participate in the Health Care System in Indonesia . The development of nursing education is extremely long with different dynamics of the development of education in Indonesia, but since 1983 the declaration of the National Congress of nursing education and Indonesia were escorted by PPNI and followed by all components of the nursing Indonesia, as well as the full support of the government ministries and the national education current health ministry and facilitated by the Consortium for health Science Education at the time, agreed that the Indonesian nursing education is the education profession and therefore should be at a high level of education and since then also began to be studied and be established as Indonesian form of nursing education is the first program at the University of Indonesia the first opened in 1985. Nursing education in Indonesia refers to Law No. 20 of 2003, concerning the national education system, covering them is 1. Vocational Education Type of education diploma according to the education level, to have the expertise of applied science nursing recognized by the government of the Republic of Indonesia. 2. Academic Education Higher education and graduate degree programs are directed primarily to the mastery of a particular discipline of science. 3. Education Profession Higher education after an undergraduate program that prepares students to have jobs with specific skill requirements. 4. While nursing education includes diplomas , bachelor's , master's , specialist and doctoral degrees . However , higher education Science of nursing in Indonesia always obtained ups and downs along with the dynamics prevailing in the society, while in Indonesia there are 599 educational institutions that provide nursing diploma 3, nursing diplomas 4 , bachelor of

nursing accredited. In West Java and Banten itself as the information submitted by the Chairman of Region IV Kopertis Professor Abdul Hakim Halim, only 30 percent of the 482 PTS in the region that has been accredited This phenomenon is certainly quite a surprise for most of the community of educators in Indonesia. The condition if allowed to go on like this, of course, will be able to degrade the quality of higher education in Indonesia, especially higher education nursing science. Moreover, by 2015 that will come , Indonesia will soon face the era of the free market in the ASEAN region . It can be concluded that the development of the phenomenon in Indonesia may be caused by the following three factors : 1. The absence of the Nursing Act Since the establishment of the organization was officially Nursing in Indonesia on 17th March 1974 so stepping into the age - 40 years, Indonesian nurses still do not have their own Nursing Act. Even in the ASEAN region, this time just staying Indonesia, East Timor, Cambodia, and Myanmar who do not have such laws . In fact, since 2008, the entire community of Nurses in Indonesia has filed the Draft Law Legislation Board of Nursing through the House of Representatives and has been entered into the National Legislation Program since 2009. But that is still not being resolved. In the absence of this blue print, inconsistency arises for higher education patterns of Nursing in Indonesia. Starting from the middle of nursing education, nursing diploma, bachelor of nursing, master's and specialist nursing, nursing doctoral even also varied. That's the face of higher education in nursing science Indonesia today . The variety that is suspected to have lowered the quality of graduates produced . In addition, the absence of the blueprint also allegedly been made ambiguous roles and functions of higher education graduates of nursing science in Indonesia. In the other hand, the Ministry of Education and Culture through the Directorate General of Higher Education, so it is still not completed the draft of an academic paper for higher education nursing science in Indonesia. Though the rule is necessary for uniformity of style of existing nursing science education .

Other Problems often arise in Indonesia is related policy making strategic matters in Indonesia often precedes the issuance of regulations that shelter. For example, the policy on Indonesian National Competency Exam and the issuance of Certificate of Registration ( STR ) for Nurses, both issued rules when the shelter is in the process of formulation. As a result of course is that impaired graduat fresh graduates. Nurses who threatened not to work and never-ending idle due to lack of supporting documentation such work due to the existing process does not go wrong. 2. Nursing Education Provider Overlapping Starting from the Ministry of National Education, Ministry of Health, the Police, the Indonesian Armed Forces ( Army, Navy , Air ) and private higher education programs nursing science. Each side would have their own motivations and goals when establishing the nursing higher education. There are patterned educational equity. There are also the only motive of business related higher education nursing are booming. This of course brings negative effect on the quality of higher education in Indonesia Nursing Science. Ideally science of nursing education in Indonesia will be much more effective if left to the private or public universities under the Ministry of National Education. This is to avoid interference from certain parties who are less competent in performing a variety of nursing education or higher education organized by the Nursing science adverse motif itself Nursing Profession. 3. Licensing is Too Loose Licensing is too easy also considered as one of the triggers for the development of stagnant nursing education in Indonesia. Like mushrooms in the rainy season, a few years ago diploma nursing education stands throughout the country. As a result, diploma 3 in nursing was booming. Graduates are not absorbed by the land work. In fact most of the graduates do not have the competencies expected by the world of work. Consequently affected the nursing profession in Indonesia. Communities and service users were then provides an assessment of nursing diploma in nursing that are not proficient and incompetent . Thankfully currently has a moratorium for the addition of new institutions for the implementation of the Nursing diploma program . Even old institution organizing

the nursing education program had already tightened the rules during undergo accreditation . However , this incident was again repeated on education providers and nurses Bachelor of Nursing. Consent is too easy to back causes the proliferation of the providers of professional nursing education program is. Apparently the parties not being a deterrent and realizes his mistake in the past. Or, perhaps our memory is too short, so it is often easy to forget the mistakes of the past and then we do it again in subsequent periods. Without a deterrent. Then, if the situation continues like this, if there is a reasonable question to ourselves. Where will be brought higher education nursing in Indonesia ?
