WHY A NEED FOR MORE NURSES?
Sweden's government just like its neighboring countries such as Finland, provides a large share to education and medical services. Both services are being given free to all its citizens. Sweden is also not a populous country. With only 9 million in population, the elder people shares the largest by age bracket.
The government also provides an insurance plan that is about
60 per cent higher of their average earnings.These can be concluded that Sweden is an aging nation whose high priority concerns the availability and accessibility of healthcare to all. Healthcare workers, especially nurses are then needed to utilize the country's need of providing quality healthcare.
