Oliver Pulch emigrated to the small town of Mommark in Denmark around two years ago. Not only, but also because of the better working conditions. Because Pulch is a nurse. “Here in Denmark the number of nurses is higher than in Germany, mostly around five people take care of 16 patients,” says Pulch. “That’s why we can take more time for the individual.” According to Pulch, a full-time employee in Danish care works 37 hours a week, and the earnings are roughly twice as high as in Germany. One or the other overtime, which everyone can have paid off, is particularly worthwhile. In Germany, on the other hand, this is hardly possible, and he has “actually never been able to reduce additional overtime”.
