We should all shed tears for Ghanaian nurses because it will take them 28 years to earn the annual remuneration of a nurse in Luxembourg or the United States.
If you are a nurse, a student in nursing training college, or a student aspiring to become a nurse or a doctor, this article should not deter you from becoming a professional nurse; rather, it should inspire you. Take proactive measures from the outset to meet all of the international minimum requirements for nurses, so that if an opportunity to work abroad presents itself, you can seize it; otherwise, others will be earning your two-year annual income per month.
This indicates that the Ghanaian nurse is grossly underpaid and undervalued. It is no wonder that many nurses and doctors abandon Ghana for the developed world, where their services are valued and compensated.
