In the continuity of previous mobilizations, nurses demonstrate on March 7 throughout France. Their watchword: the end of “Treat and shut up”.
Nurses will have to arm themselves with courage tomorrow to pound the pavement. Despite the rain announced for a good part of France, these health professionals will carry out their third national mobilization on Tuesday.
At the call of 16 professional associations and unions (1), the entire profession (students in healthcare nurses, nurses, nurses specialists and nurses health executives) is called upon to mobilize in number on March 7, 2017 in Paris as in all major cities. Representatives of the unitary movement now want to challenge future presidential candidates in 2017.
Unkept promises
For them, neither the strong mobilization of November 8, nor the promises of progress announced at the end of the movement of January 24, have made it. The Ministry of Health grants, according to these nurses, “little or nothing to the profession”.
However, the latter recall that the tenant of Avenue Duquesne, Marisol Touraine and the general management of the Care Offer (DGOS) had committed and had confirmed that strong announcements would be made by the highest authorities of the State. during a progress report of the Great Health Conference.
The question of remuneration
The unease about working conditions in the profession therefore persists. These nurses even write that “never had they experienced such suffering at work: suicides, depression, burnout, stress”.
Finally, they consider that the salaries of nurses and nurses specialists are not consistent with their level of responsibility and their level of education. Here again, the ministry turns a deaf ear! “, they conclude.
