Polish nurses and doctors soon to get opportunity to work in Norway

Norwegian hospitals and medical centers can expect to hire medical staff from Poland in the near future, according to the terms of an agreement signed recently by the Polish and Norwegian labor ministries. The Norwegian Labor Authority estimates that 3,700 nurses, 500 doctors and 100 dentists in total will be able to find a job, however, only 400 foreign nurses and 100 dentists are expected in Norway this year. Under the agreement, medical staff will be able to sign contracts for between one and four years. The Norwegians say nurses can expect to earn monthly salaries between zl.10,000 - zl.15,000.
