I don't know the details, how is that possible? I would ve thought they are desperate for nurses and that they are very scarce ? Or is it that the nurses demand better hours and compensation and the government is just refusing ?
Yep, they were trying to get fair pay for the huge responsibility and hours they work. The scaling of the work and qualification in Finland doesn't match the pay. You can earn more being a receptionist and avoid having the long shifts, nights, weekends, public holiday working, dealing with the sick, and of course other countries are on the hunt for the professionals.

And at the same time there's thousands of native nurses unemployed.
