CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
Health is a healthy state, both physically, mentally, spiritually and
socially, which enables everyone to live productively socially and
economically. Resources in the health sector are all forms of funds, personnel,
medical supplies, pharmaceutical preparations and medical devices and health
and technology services facilities used to carry out health efforts undertaken by
the government, local government and / or the community (Depkes RI, 2009) .

The hospital which is one of the health facilities, is a referral of health

services with the main function of providing health healing and recovery for the
patient (Depkes RI, 2004). The role of the hospital is urgent, so from the hospital
know not only seen from the number of patients, but more to the benefits and
the role and function.

Nursing is one of the professions in the world of health. As a profession,

of course, the services must be professional, so nurses must have competence
and meet the standards of nursing practice, as well as pay attention to the code
of ethics and moral profession so that people receive quality nursing services
and care. But if we look at the reality that exists, the world of nursing in
Indonesia is very apprehensive. The phenomenon of "gray area" in various types
and levels of existing nursing as well as with other health professions is still
difficult to avoid.

As a prospective health workers it is appropriate that we know,

understand and learn how the hospital and profession that are in it. So this paper
will explain more about many hospital departments and professions, along with
addition materials such as grammar focus (preposition of place) and giving
direction.
