Proposte per gli infermieri. Italia tra gli ultimi nella media Ocse.

Many international studies confirm what seems obvious, that a happy nurse, put in the mental and physical conditions to do their job well, could not only save millions of euros but also greatly reduce infections and hospital deaths (Lancet Study). 

In one study researchers from Pennsylvania estimated that if nurse 'burnout' rates were reduced by 10%, about 4,160 hospital infections could be prevented each year, saving 41 million dollars in healthcare costs.

According to another study conducted in Great Britain, which only confirms other studies, when nurse management goes from 10 to 6 patients, mortality is reduced by 20%. 

Not only is the nurse vital in the fight against Covid-19, but also against antibiotic resistance, bedsores, emergency prevention, reduces mortality, etc.

Those who work in hospital environments, even if they will never tell you on TV, nurses save more lives with prevention in the wards, every single minute, than anyone else in the world.

The nurse, in a civilized and advanced country, should be at the center of any financial plan, and not only for healthcare but also in schools, in public places.

It is no coincidence that in the OECD average of salaries Italy is among the last countries.

(France (€34,204), Spain (€35,489), Germany €41,000, Ireland €50,000, Belgium €53,297,

The best salary, however, is received by nurses in Luxembourg where, before taxes, they are paid €83,274 a year.

In Italy? You tell us.

A worrying fact that emerges is the desire to change jobs as soon as possible. 36% of Italian nurses would leave the country immediately.
