Nurses Wage
-
Hello,
in a normal ward in Brussels: 1100 euros netto/month
in most Flemish hospitals: 1200-1300 euros netto
Off course, this is not very exact. It's just a rough estimation. You'll have no difficulty finding a job, once you have all the paperwork done. Belgium has a big lack of nurses. Unfortunately I have to tell you that a lot of Belgian nurses go to Holland, France and Luxembourg, because of better working and salary conditions. In Belgium there are almost no nursing auxiliaries, so big part of making beds and changing dipers are also included in your job.
Still Belgian hospitals provide good care, have all the equipment. And with a bit of luck you can find a nice ward with good colleagues.
A lot of nurses who want to have a better salary or are fed up with hospitals in Belgium, become an independent nurses, working at private houses, go with their car to see several patients.
I hope this an help you a little,
