21.5.2025 | The employment rate of registered nurses and practical nurses is high, with more than 90 per cent of graduates finding work in the social welfare and health care sector.

People who have sought employment in other sectors represent the most significant resource of unutilised workforce. Some relief can also be provided by pensioners for whom working is increasingly common.https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/1271139/most-registered-nurses-and-practical-nurses-are-already-working-in-the-social-and-health-care-sector-career-changers-and-pensioners-are-a-possible-extra-reserve
