Abstract

It is necessary for nurses who are competent and have high dedication to carry out their duties properly. Nursing law should be evaluated more deeply to produce a law in accordance with the services provided by nurses. During this time, there are many demands from the community regarding the improvement of the professionalism of nurses. One of the causes of the lack of professionalism of nurses in the nursing education given while still doing the education level. In addition, nurses also tend to be less prosperous. This study uses descriptive research methods with a qualitative approach. Based on the literature review, to improve the welfare of nurses, this role is also one of the Government's obligations to evaluate the policy of minimum wages and benefits even for honorary nurses. The evaluation must be conducted in synergy with Law No. 38 of 2014 concerning nursing. Meanwhile, policies can also be clearly stated in this Law. The synergy of these two things can be one of the arenas for the revival of the nursing profession to become even better.
