Don’t know if it is an european phenomenom, but all the european countries seem to deal with the same problem considering nurses. The pay is ridiculous, workload is massive, every country is competing against each other hiring nurses abroad, but when the pay is what it is, people end up leaving sooner than later somewhere else. There is no future with declining workforce and increasing workload. The problems could be solved by paying sufficiently, but that never ever happens. Non-europeans stay until they become RN in europe, then they leave and I would do exactly the same if I were them. Considering that one should care for the patients best,things are not really looking good.
