After Colombia, skilled workers are now also being recruited on the African continent. As of tomorrow, six new nurses will be on duty in Graz.
When Hela Hammami performs her tasks during practical training, you notice that the young woman is extremely motivated. On Monday, the qualified nurse from Tunisia and five of her colleagues will officially start working at the LKH University Hospital in Graz after a training phase.
Intensive training phase
The small group has been intensively trained over the past two weeks for their tasks in the surgery, internal medicine and children’s centers, but also prepared for life in Styria. The nursing staff already speaks good German and communication with the patients was practiced again in a special course.
There are 220 nursing places vacant
The help of the new colleagues is desperately needed for daily care. “These hands help to keep service bicycles upright and thus prevent bed closures,” confirms nursing director Gabriele Möstl. In the university hospital alone, 220 nursing places will become available. An international recruitment project paved the way for the new staff to move to Graz.
good working conditions
There are many reasons why the men and women from Tunisia decided to work in Austria. However, everyone is equally convinced of the good working conditions. “Everything here is just great,” Hammami enthuses. A total of 36 nurses are expected, the next group will start in the autumn.
