The folks in this thread highlighting nurse staffing and pay problems in multiple EU countries has really surprised me. Nursing in the states is a rather high paying field especially for nurses who frequently pickup short notice and holiday shifts which usually pay overtime. Why do nurses seem to get paid less in the EU?

That seems to be true for most professions, honestly.

Go tell Jean-Claude Juncker. Of course by "government" I mean "commission", which is the exact same thing.

Except it has exclusive competence in a handful of areas.

Well, all I know is whenever Brussels makes a new shitty decision, Emmanuel Macron just answers them "Yes my Lords" and does whatever the fuck they order him to do (I live in France). Most of the time for the worst. And I know it's the same in other countries. Screw the EU commission, if I might add.

Nursing is not a profession which requires a university degree in most countries. For example, in Germany, you acquire a nursing license via dual training/an apprenticeship program combined with some school that takes three years to finish. Of course, you can elect to advance your training and specialize later on but it still is different from a Nursing BA or even MA. The other thing is that nurses have fewer responsibilities and aren't allowed to do many things a Registered Nurse does in the US. Something like a Nurse Practitioner doesn't even exist, this is all on physicians.

besides what was said above, there's also 2 types of nurses. The ones working in hospitals and deal with medicine... and the ones working everywhere else, pretty much acting as .. well there isn't even an english word. Basically washing patients, helping them using the toilet, washing them... basically strictly non-medical stuff.
The latter people usually make minimum wage and doesn't require much of an education. The former however require a diploma/higher education and usually make more than double that. Although that ofc depends on the country too.
