Struggle for workers – shortage of nurses: ‘We are doing everything we can’

Date:

Employers feel left alone when looking for nursing staff! Salzburg municipalities recruit staff from abroad. They must overcome bureaucratic hurdles that often mean years of waiting. “We have to do everything alone. That is not possible!”, a mayor complains angrily.

Again and again, foreign skilled workers are trained, integrated and then deported again. But some things end well, such as that of Nepalese Sunita Rai. After a number of reports in the “Krone” and letters from high-ranking state politicians to the federal government, a happy ending came in 2020 for the woman threatened with deportation. The nursing assistant, who was trained at the Salzburg University Hospital, was allowed to stay. “She’s also studying health and nursing now,” said Franziska Moser, director of nursing at the University Hospital.
