According to him, the hospital is no longer short of staff once these recruitments have been made. Currently, it has 600 employees in its 15 different departments. This operation is not anecdotal, “it demonstrates the new dynamic”, says the executive. “After the internal crises, we have to make the nursing staff want to join us and show them that the time has come for social appeasement. »
New start
For many months, the hospital had been operating in slow motion, for lack of staff. If the health crisis, which has highlighted the problems of hospitals, has slowed down the number of spontaneous applications, the setbacks of this hospital have sometimes frightened hesitant applicants.

The new governance, put in place at the start of 2022, and the medical teams are working together on the restructuring of the establishment. “If the situation had not been obvious, I would not have applied here”, slips Sabine, a candidate.
