[In October 2012 the author had the opportunity to spend 4 days in the Netherlands on a study trip. The purpose of the trip was to exchange information about the nursing education facilities and the tasks of Occupational Health Nurses in the Netherlands. The study tour supported by the Federation of Occupational Health Nurses within the European Union. Although the length of the trip was relatively short, the impact and exposure it brought to the author was definitely enormous. ]

Methods: The research was conducted between 1 December 2015 and 15 March 2016 among nurses in one Hungarian hospital and nurses in ambulance service. The online questionnaire was volunteer and anonym. The results (N=90) were processed in Microsoft Excel 2013. Results: The none device method results shows that the OKJ nurses reached 76%, the practical nurses 74,4% and the nurses with diploma reached 78,3%, they got nearly the same results. Looking the airway management with devices OKJ nurses reached 60%, the practical nurses 74,3%, and nurses with diploma got 79,1%. In both cases the ambulance nurses got the highest result which is reached above 90%. Conclusion: The results shows that the workplace is strongly and the education level is barely affects the supraglottic airway management skill.]

[When treating chronic wounds the nurse works responsibly as a member of the team, and this cannot be limited to simply following the doctor’s instructions and appropriately dressing the wound. During the treatment of the patient the nurse has to make assessments and observations, carry out tests, evaluate the results, and warn the doctor in good time of any symptoms that depart from the typical healing process that is to be expected in the treated wound. The author presents the principles and methods applied in the practice of wound treatment, highlighting the nurse’s tasks and scope of authority in this regard. ]

[Aims of the study: The local community nurses can use their present abilities between given conditions and how these abilities could be extended. Sample and methods: 137 evaluable questionnaires were returned from 14 family doctors’ patients and 12 questionnaires were from community nurses. The questionnaires consisted of open and closed questions. The data was processed by SPSS and Excel software. Statistics were made by descriptive statistic means and Fischer exact tests. Results: During my survey it turned out that patients don’t utilize basic adult health care means such as measuring blood pressure and blood-sugar and lab examinations. Conclusions: Most of the community nurses can’t utilize most of their abilities and knowledge. They don’t have the opportunity to perform health education or just to talk to the patients face-to-face. My thesis surfaces the fact that community workers and doctors should work coordinate. It’s not true in relation of all the general practitioners and nurses.]

[Emergency patient care department problems have recently come to the fore, especially in terms of waiting times and triage activity. It is still not entirely clear to society what is the triage system is, what is it good for, and who is the person, who applies the classification of patients. There is countless conflicts and tensions in the process of health services due to lack of knowledge. In Hungary, emergency departments play a prominent role in healthcare. Increased patient flow is a global problem, and therefore a distinction should be made between the „door to physician time” of the patients. The so-called grading system (triage) has been developed for this purpose, during which an experienced qualified nurse will measure and assess the patient’s condition as quickly as possible on the basis of different criteria. In my communication, I present the triage activity, the use of the classification system, what the triage nurse is doing, by comparing two cases. ]
