We all need to weep for Ghanaian Nurses because it will take 28 years for a Ghanaian Nurse to earn the annual salary of a Nurse in Luxembourg or the United States of America.
If you are a nurse, a student in nursing training college, or a student aspiring to become a nurse or a doctor, this article must not discourage you but instead inspire you to become a professional nurse. Take proactive steps from the onset to meet all the international basic requirements for nurses so that if an opportunity to work aboard comes your way, you can grab it, or else, others will be earning your two years annual income on a monthly basis.
This means the Ghanaian nurse is seriously underpaid and unappreciated. No wonder many nurses and doctors leave the shores of Ghana for greener pastures in the developed world where their services are valued and paid for.
