1. Why Italy is Recruiting International Nurses

Italy has the highest share of senior citizens aged 65 and above in the European Union. According to healthcare union reports, the national healthcare system faces an acute shortage of over 73,000 qualified nurses and clinical staff across hospitals and nursing facilities.

To meet this urgent demand, Italian health authorities and hospital networks are facilitating direct visa sponsorship, competitive contracts, and permanent residency options for international nurses.
