Months before the covid 19 epidemic, the white coats were already warning about the endangering of the quality of care at the public hospital. With at the heart of the crisis, the lack of personnel. In the summer of 2020, the so-called Segur de la Santé negotiations led to a first salary increase.

On April 12, for general care nurses, an additional revaluation was presented resulting in an overall improvement of 290 euros net after a one-year career.

34,000 vacant positions in September

This comes close to the initial demands but may not be enough in the face of worsening working conditions. “We risk witnessing a new wave of departures as we had experienced a first wave of nursing departures last summer when we went from 7,500 vacant nursing positions in June to 34,000 vacant positions in September. Because at the level of attractiveness there are of course wages but also working conditions, which continue to deteriorate ” deplores Thierry Amouroux, spokesperson for the National Union of Nursing Professionals.

Another point of tension: specialized nurses, who will be paid barely better than their colleagues without additional training. Among them, nurse anesthetists and operating room nurses, the IBODEs.
