Norway, after Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, is now hunting for nurses in Italy. Scandinavian nation, "new attractive job offers for Italian nurses are arriving, in these days, which we are trying to carefully examine and deepen" . This was declared by Antonio De Palma, national president of Nursing Up, the nurses' organization. "The Norwegian public health service, in particular through a Spanish international agency based in Alicante, with which we have started close contacts in these hours, puts opportunities on the scale that would seem really difficult to refuse" , with financial offers of as much as 3,500 euros per month's worth of services. And it's not merely a matter of "economic prospects that are very different from those of an Italian healthcare system that is currently experiencing, as we all know, a very delicate and contentious moment." Norway opens the path for intriguing "life options." What we can see, without exaggeration, is that job offers from abroad have recently evolved, and for highly sought-after Italian professionals, they have become decidedly more aggressive, and above all, extremely difficult to refuse for one of our young nursing graduates." The Norwegian public health service "currently offers 2,800 to 3,500 euros net per month: of course, the cost of living is high in cities such as Oslo and Bergen, but in some cases, we are told by agency heads, rent and bills are paid, almost always at least in the first few months." According to De Palma, "the contracts are all open-ended, and there is no longer even the obligation to know the complex basics of Norwegian, at least not immediately."
