The EU has a deepening health care staffing problem but, in the EU, there are countries that have had a high (youth) unemployment for over a decade. If only EU leader looked beyond their next election, this would not be another crisis. In the last 10 years people could have been trained to become health care staff.
Why would anybody become a nurse or a doctor if they can make the same amount of money by being a data scientist or a photographer? Medical practitioners mostly need to stay at the city they are assigned to work, while others can travel around and work from home.
You guys have healthcare?
The average age of the nursing staff in the hospital I used to work at was over 55. Has barely gone down when I moved into a private clinic or other hospitals.
Theyre recruiting new grads after a single phone call and they end up in places they’re not prepared to handle.
This is why you see so many ads for working abroad from all kind of countries, because there’s not enough new blood. You can hop into any nursing portal and find job offers from all over Europe and overseas, especially SA, Qatar and some further away countries from SEA.
How much are you paying them? Changing pay does wonders for recruitment. Not necessarily instantly, but over time. It took time to get into this mess, it’s going to take time to get back out of it.
I mean, doesn’t everyone going to a university stop in to a couseling office at least once and look over the expected pay for various degrees? Then you pick the one you like best and think you could do from the top salaried positions. I thought everyone did this. I didn’t think I could be a chemical engineer, but software seemed lucrative enough and I liked computers, sooo…
The work hours and level of education need to be equaled in income
