According to the Vice President of the Slovak Chamber of Nurses and Midwives, the nurses working in social care homes are, against their will, being shifted to the position of social nurse. This measure, according to her, is related to the Act on minimum wage claims of nurses, which from April the 1st increases their wages. Currently is reportedly a difference between the salary of nurse and social nurse only a few euros, but from April the 1st it may be, depending on the number of hours worked, even few hundred euros.
