Ethical recruitment - To the Governments of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Faroe Island
The Nordic Nurses’ Federation, on behalf of 340.0000 nurses, urge our governments to adopt a sustainable and ethical strategy for planning, investing, educating, recruiting, and retaining nurses. The current reliance on the recruitment of nurses from third countries to address the nursing shortage in the Nordic region is not a viable long-term solution.
To the Nordic Delegation at the UN High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance
We commend the Nordic countries for their significant efforts and accomplishments in the fight against AMR, and we urge you to continue investing in nursing at national, regional, and global levels to combat this pressing threat.
Resisting the transformation of nurses into informants
The Nordic Nurses’ Federation (NNF) supports our colleagues in Sweden who are protesting a bill that makes it unsafe for people in need to seek health care. This can force nurses to report or expose themselves to legal punishment if they choose not to.
340,000 Nurses Unite: Urgent Call for Climate Action at COP28
The Nordic Nurses’ Federation (NNF) urges Nordic policymakers and negotiators to contribute to strong, binding agreements that reduce our global CO2 footprint. The need to limit climate change extends beyond ecological concerns; it is an indispensable factor in strengthening public health and ensuring a resilient healthcare system.
