Iranian nurses leave country, local hospitals in panic.

Iranian nurses leave country, local hospitals in panic.(TI).The hospitals in Iran are experiencing shortage of nurses, who leave the country on a daily basis, Iran's Nursing Council Chief Gazanfar Mirzabeygi said, according to "Tehran Emruz" newspaper.According to Mirzabeygi, the nurses leave Iran because of low salaries, while abroad they are getting paid more than in Iran.
Mirzabeygi said that recently, one of Iran's neigboring countries, without revealing which country, said it seeks to invite some 30,000 of Iran's nurses for work, with a monthly salary of $2,000, the newspaper reported.
He noted that according to International standards, there should be a minimum of two nurses per each hospital bed each day, while in Iran this number is two times less.
Secretary of Iran's Nursing Council Sadighe Salimi said that daily some 40 nurses leave Iran, and the situation in the hospitals is critical.She said that newly hired nurses in Iran get a salary of some $380, and such low payment forces nurses to leave their jobs.
Salimi said that these nurses mostly leave to the U.S., Canada an Australia, where the average nursing salary ranges from $2,500 to $4,000.
In August 2011, Iranian Nursing Organization Deputy Ahmad Nejatian said that the flow of immigrants from Iran to Canada among nurses has increased over the past 6 months.
Canada is the first immigration destination for Iranian nurses with 47 percent while the UAE attracts 33 percent of immigrants. Australia, the USA and the UK are among other major destinations with suitable conditions for Iranian nurses.Hmmmm......." according to International standards, there should be a minimum of two nurses per each hospital bed each day".....Show me a country who has this kind of staff.Read the full story here.
