Spanish nurses are increasingly moving abroad for better job stability and conditions, with many heading to countries like the Netherlands, despite Spain having few unemployed nurses. Companies like Eduployment facilitate this migration by providing language training and employment opportunities, often sponsored by foreign healthcare institutions facing staff shortages. While some Spanish nurses leave out of necessity due to precarious temporary contracts in Spain, others seek better career prospects, guaranteed salary increases, and investment in their professional development abroad. The issue is framed as a broader European shortage of healthcare professionals, with countries like Italy and Hungary actively recruiting internationally. Furthermore, even those who work abroad for points or experience often cite the lack of job security and specialization within the Spanish system as a key driver for leaving, including some moving from the UK post-Brexit.
