As a German nurse I must say that one of the big reasons for nurses leaving the field is also the complete disrespect and entitlement, even aggression, from patients and their family members that happens on a daily basis in our hospitals and is being overlooked by our superiors. No one ever talks about this, you're just being told that as a nurse you have to serve patients no matter how much they abuse you physically and emotionally! This is outrageous and as long as there is zero respect from the general population for the work that nurses do, the nursing staff will keep shrinking and with them the number of available hospital beds!

@@darrellmortensen9805 I honestly idk. It's so hard bc you know of the American stereotype "America is better here and here and here." But sometimes there are certain things that we all could learn from each other. I honestly wonder how much of it has to do with the school system at a time when so much is decided when people are younger. The fact that some are put in schools seen sort of in a way of lesser value at age 10 after a test to determine the path, instead of accepting that some grow or aren't in the correct mindset at that age yet. That honestly causes a type of pain. You see so many people criticizing the American school system and sure, there are things that could be fixed. But at the same time, there are so many opportunities we as Americans had that other places by historical austerity we would maybe imagine better things, but it's not entirely as colorful as that.

And the pure amount of work and lack of personell does make it hard to meet every persons needs at times. Conflicts do arise when a single night unurse has to take care of 42 people... But what you describe seems really far out from anything I could witness but for rare exceptions. The overwhelming amount of patients might be scared, and feel insecure, and can be demanding upon time, but in general I´ve experiented patients being thankful, mostly patient. It is a hard job, and maybe you are not in the same space as you where when you started out, if the enviroment feels that hostile by now.

To be fair, this is probably happening in many other countries such as France and England as well where you have low birth rates and an aging population. However I think that Germany is a country that is generally in crisis and the bad health care situation is a symptom of this. Politics in Germany focusses on non essential things too much and therefore fails to correct issues that really matter. Problems are always addressed through introducing more regulations that have landlocked Germany into unmanagable bureaucracy. Today as I was walking through Berlin I saw the political advertisements for the upcoming election and they are all meaningless slogans, "Vote Green and for justice", "fight hatred", etc, but no one even attempts to solve the magnitude of problems we are facing, such as energy crisis, lack of affordable housing, etc. Politics in Germany has become very ambitious (save the climate) but also incapable of solving any problems. It'll get worse.

I worked in US hospitals for more than 40 years. I remember when DRG's were introduced--many hospital managers panicked and cut back training programs. Most hospitals made more money with DRG's than with the former fee-for-service system, but they didn't restore the medical personnel training programs they had cut, and in time they were faced with severe personnel shortages, which in turn moved people to retire sooner than they probably would have before.

I have been working as a nurse for 12 years now. What I have observed in the past several years, New Nurses have branched out to different fields to escape bedside nursing. Bedside nursing just burns you out physically, mentally and emotionally. It’s the most stressful field of nursing in my opinion. I myself experienced that. I used to look after 12 Patients (Total Patient Care - Acute Care here in Ireland). For the longest time, Nurses haven’t been paid enough. Underpaid and overworked. I am Single and still renting and share the apartment with someone I’m not close with. I tried applying for mortgage, I was told my salary (including Overtime) was not enough to get a house here in Dublin. I’d say if this trend continues where new nurses give up bedside nursing so easily, Just imagine what will happen when our senior nurses (which make up the huge part of our workforce) retire. No one will be there to take care of you or your families.

You're always going to have to deal with aggressive and violent patients because mental illness and altered mental status are things that bring patients to the hospital many times. Ie. hypoglycemia can make a patient aggressive or hallucinations from fever can make a patient violent or a patient could be an adult with autism or PTSD. However, the biggest issue in healthcare is staffing. There are never enough nurses or doctors. And lack of nurses does make it more difficult to get a mentally altered and/or mentally ill patient into restraints. The staffing issues are primarily due to privatization. When a hospital is a business, the goal is to make money. The most efficient way to make money with a business is to cut costs and increase customers. That usually means paying workers less and putting more work on the backs of all workers.

I have a residency in Germany, C1 German certificate, job acceptance, my Erasmus background in German medical faculty and my chefarzt who want me to start work as soon as possible. I've been waiting for 6 weeks just to get an appointment for the German exam in medicine. this takes 6-12 months in most cases. The authorised department in bayern does not reply e-mails, the phones are not answered. this time German doctors are forced to work hard and then are considering resigning. Assistant doctor training is hampered by so. Germany is currently unable to use foreign doctors who want to work in its country.

Governments in multiple countries have quietly been shifting their taxpayer funded health care systems to management by for-profit corporations that exist for the sole purpose of maximizing corporate profit, CEO salaries and bonuses, and shareholder dividends. They all rely on secrecy (no media coverage of the changes); secrecy about corporate structure, salaries, benefits; bribes paid to government officials making the changes, and impossible barriers to investigations when people die while waiting for care, or as a result of staffing cuts and increased workloads. For-profit health care corporations will ALWAYS cut care in endless ways for the sake of increased profits. To what extent has increased privatization of taxpayer funded health care been the cause of the collapsing NHS in the UK with strikes by underpaid, overworked nurses and ambulance workers? The Canadian taxpayer funded health care system is also in crisis. So many nurses have quit that hospitals have closed emergency or obstetric departments, or have shut down completely, especially rural hospitals. Overworked Canadian primary care doctors are quitting, making it impossible for Canadians to find another primary care doctor. Without a primary care doctor, they cannot get specialist care. To what extent has privatization played a role in these problems, or is refusal to raise taxes the main cause? Privatization is, however being openly discussed in the Canadian media as the SOLUTION to shortages of nurses and doctors in Canadian health care. How will siphoning scarce tax dollars out of health care worker salaries and into the pockets of corporate executives and shareholders convince nurses and doctors to stay in practice despite stagnant salaries, increased work hours and care loads? In the US, private NOT-for-profit companies used to be the mainstay of the health care systems. However, during the George W. Bush presidency, Congress created Medicare "Advantage" plans (in reality, Dis-Advantage plans) sold by for-profit corporations. Retirees can choose between "classic" or traditional plans managed by non-profit corporations, or the new Dis-Advantage Plans. Retirees are unaware that the physicians in the Dis-Advantage plans are limited, are chosen by corporate managers, and are those willing to work for lower reimbursement. Patient care is determined not by what the patient needs and what the physician has ordered, but rather by what the care manager allows. Care managers can and do ignore doctor letters of medical necessity, and corporations always win appeals. The majority of retirees enrolled in Medicare Dis-Advantage plans are unaware that their care is managed by a for-profit corporation basing every decision on more profits. George W. Bush also introduced Medicare Prescription Plans, managed by the for-profit corporations that sell the Dis-Advantage plans. Classic Medicare did not, and still does not, include reimbursement for prescription medications. Anyone who chooses Classic Medicare Health Care plan managed by a not-for-profit company will have to purchase a prescription plan from a for-profit corporation. These prescription plans have high monthly premiums, high annual deductibles, and high drug co-pays. The cost of cash payments for medications is, for many people, less than the costs of payments for prescription payments. Therefore, people choose the Dis-Advantage Plns, which claim to offer prescription coverage, but in reality will only pay for what the pharmacy benefit manager allows regardless of a doctor's letter of medical necessity. When Barack Obama introduced "Obamacare" Medicaid plans for the working poor, too "rich" for Medicaid but not having employer provided health insurance, Obama forgot to announce publicly that Obamacare would be managed by for-profit corporations. That is the same information George W. Bush forgot to mention about the Medicare Dis-Advantage plans for retirerees. In reality, Obamacare Medicaid is Obama-No-Care health care. Primary care providers often are nurse practioners or family practice physicians. They are not allowed to refer children to specialists not on the corporate provider list. A very high percentage of medical and surgical specialists refuse to accept Medicaid insured patients because of the low reimbursement rates. Medicaid insured patients, including children, die when family nurse practitioners with heavy caseloads cannot refer the patients to specialists. Every person paying into tax funded health care systems need to know that for-profit corporations are paying government officials to take over management of health care, so that health care is provided to maximize corporate profits, at the expense of patients and underpaid health care workers. Elected officials also benefit by purchasing shares in these corporations before any information about changes becomes public. In the US, bribery of elected officials (corruption) is called lobbying, and is legal. Insider trading is also legal business as usual, which is why members of the US Congress refuse to pass laws requiring them to place corporate shares into a blind trust. The US has oligarchs in the health care industries, defense industries, and more, whose wealth has been obtained in the same ways as oligarchs in other nations. Beware of the conversion of national or public anything to private corporate ownership or control. Beware of the conversion of not-for-profit taxpayer funded anything to for profit ownership or control. And always look for this information that is excluded in misleading announcements about how much better your life will be when it is completely controlled by for-profit corporations.

I'm by no means an expert, but it seems fairly obvious to me that shifting money around alone won't fix this. To retain the existing staff you need to pay them better in general and overwork them less, thus you need more money and more staff, which also costs money. To get more staff you need to invest in education, ease immiagration of healthcare workers and students, who again also will likely also need financial assistance.
@Masterrunescapeer Жыл бұрын
Shifting money around would fix this, as in this case the issue is how it's paid out, not the amount that is paid out, since current system encourages short, repetitive treatments and discourages more complex care.

Sounds like the sheer volume of demand is at the root of all these symptoms, so the underlying population demographics have a lot to do with these problems. Whether an aging population bubble or large numbers of working poor, delivering services to all who need it has become extremely challenging. Delivering quality care to huge numbers of patients requires a mountain of resources and round the clock attention. Nobody seems to have created a model that could be universal and scale to rising demand. Plenty of room for improvement everywhere, but tons of constraints that preclude making systemic changes.

Yup, unfortunately it's an almost unsolvable problem. It's a triple whammy, more old people, more treatments in general and more expensive treatments. between 1990 and 2020 alone, healthcare made huge advances. This is one of the two key factors - the fact that healthcare as a system will always become more complex and more expensive due to innovations in medical science. So when people say it used to be better, it might have been in terms of staff levels, but overall healthcare cost has massively risen because we treat people way better today than in the past. That means the system constantly needs more money to even keep up with previous staffing levels. And if the money isn't given, staffing levels sink. The second key factor is demographics. People really underestimate how much older developed nations are today than they were in the past. 1990, the average age in Germany was about 39, now it's over 45. Just imagine what that means in terms of healthcare costs. Most expensive treatments occur during the end of your life (obviously).

Bad eating habits, lack of exercise and a sense of entitlement are rife, but when this is pointed out, people get angry and defensive. Also people don't want to accept that there is a difference between saving a life, and preventing a person from dying where there is no longer any quality of life. I am 81 years old and know that no-one lives forever. I have a DNR in place should I have a severe stroke or other medical problem that would leave me as a human vegetable.

I am from Austria, living in Finland now. Back, like 10 years ago, it was already a problem in Austria. Some patient slept outside the rooms, in a hospital bed, because there wasn't enough space. But still, the situation back then was way better than it is now. As a nurse you get treated badly, long work hours and not much salary. I have known, back in Austria, a few doctors who also left the country, because salary is higher and you'll get more respect in other countries. But comparing middle Europe's health care system with the Finnish one currently, Germany and Austria still wins. During Corona, middle Europe lost a lot of nurses and doctors unfortunately. But what they said in the beginning, that they are close that children die because they don't have enough staff and/or medication, is something that struggles Finland since a long time. And I'm quite sure that actually whole Europe is suffering from this. Still, Germany, as well as Austria, still do a good job in their health care system, even if it looks a bit grim right now. That the topic is more about money is true, and horrible, but again, this goes for whole Europe. Often it happens, when you get pregnant, the doctor will ask you a few times, if you want to have a C section, this is mainly because they try to make money with you. On this point I want to say, if it is not necessary, don't get a C section, don't let the doctor talk into it, unless you really want one. And, back in Austria, I still remember that a doctor told me, he is awake now for 40 hours, but he still needs to operate me. And so he did, that was a bit scary, but I had no other choice. My mom tried to finish a nurse school, she stopped in the middle, because it was way too hard. Her friend finished the school and still works as a nurse.

Germany needs to loosen up the whole Anerkennungs process (certifying of documents/licenses from other countries). So many people (including myself) who immigrate to Germany can’t work as medical personell due to our licenses not being recognized. To do this, you need to apply for certification, which requires at least B2 lvl of German knowledge certificate (even if you’re fluent), costs money. Then you need to translate all documents in Germany, not elsewhere, which costs a ton of money. Then you need to get these originals and translations approved by a notary, which guess what, also costs money. Then the application to the institution costs at least 500 euros, and you will need additional courses and practice (which is paid very little)… so you’re stuck in this cycle of working a low paid job (just so you can live here and afford rent), can’t afford to pay for the whole Anerkennung, and no institution cane give you financial aid if you’re employed (even though you earn a minimum wage). I understand you can’t employ people who might seem less certified, you do work with people and their lives might depend on you, but if you clearly have shortage of staff, then make it a bit easier for others to work. Give financial aid (with an option to pay back when you earn enough), allow people to avoid the language certificate if you can clearly see that they are fluent, and please allow them to also learn while working.

Hospitals got reduced funding for the same cause. Im still fine being younger and healthy but i observed older people fighting insurance to get treatment for years where they got nothing but paperwork why they couldn't get their treatment. In one case old man didnt get his cane til he died - So insurance successfully averted paying a bunch of bucks to help granpa after he paid decades into insurance. And government made it law to pay "social health care" so you can't exit even if you know they are scamming you.

There is so much inefficiencies specially in healthcare in germany that is unbelievable. For a country that pays one of the highest taxation and invests one of the highest across the world, the state is abysmal. Compared to eastern countries where a doctor sees hundreds patients per day, compared to here seeing barely 20 a day. The enormous amounts of bureaucracy that goes in to report each patient, the enormous concentration of power in the doctors who run entire clinics as private practices without the possibility to outsourcing basic testing, and testing without need of prescription. Setting up of diagnostic centers without a stationed doctor would be perhaps the only way to tackle the rush. This followed by simply making it enormously difficult for doctors from other countries to work in germany given the insane number of legal and language requirements to start their practice even when the fact remains that appointments are available after months. Worse part, doctors also not being well versed with english and english medical literature dilutes the efficacy of diagnosis. Seems like there is no end to this in sight.
