There are so many figures when France was gearing up at the time of the serious condition of the corona. Analyzing the national order of nurses published on Sunday, one thing has surfaced that most nurses are feeling tired and cramped and 37 percent say the corona epidemic has forced them to change their jobs.

A survey shows that France did not coordinate the growing needs of its medical facilities. The national order of nurses states that the job of 34,000 nurses is still vacant in France. Nurses and other medical staff in France and elsewhere held sporadic protests for good pay, good working conditions, and personal interest.

These people were being given low salaries in France. Patrick, president of the national order of nurses, says that nurses today should come forward to deal with the covid-19 situation. He said that nurses are tired, they have tension, fatigue, and a lot of work. We should take care of the nurses.
