Burgenland sets new standards in nursing training!

The Burgenland sets new standards in health and nursing training with a groundbreaking employment model for care trainees. At a press conference on December 13, 2024 in Pinkafeld, State Councilor Leonhard Schneemann and other managers said that 182 trainees have been successfully employed since the model was introduced in September 2022. State Councilor Schneemann emphasized the importance of this initiative: "This initiative not only ensures care, but also designs the nursing profession more attractive and sustainable." Burgenland has established itself as a pioneer in recent years and, according to a new study, will need around 1,750 additional nursing staff by 2030 to do justice to demographic change, as well as burgenland.orf.at

Currently around 3,900 nurses are employed in Burgenland, which are mainly active in hospitals and inpatient facilities. Franz Oiller, Commercial Managing Director of Health Burgenland, said that the jobs not only offer financial security, but also form the basis for the expansion of nursing support points and hospice facilities. In addition, the integration of foreign nurses, including from the Philippines and Hungary, is promoted. The creation of an attractive work environment is crucial to ensure the increase in nursing staff.
