Nurses will probably leave the nursing homes

Directors of nursing homes in Slovakia are shifting the nurses to the position of nursing sister. According to the Slovak Chamber of Nurses and Midwives they are this way trying to avoid the obligation to increase their wages. Nurses are reportedly forced to sign the reclassification under the threat of dismissals. From April the law on minimum wages of nurses will enter into force, which guarantees them a  better salary. Nurses, however, reportedly even may not work in the nursing homes, as the Minister of Labour referred to them, because they are not nurses and they should suspend their registration in the Chamber.
