Initiative for Academicized Nursing e.V.

There are more and more Bachelor's graduates in nursing - but there is a lack of concepts on how they can be deployed profitably in the various institutions. To encourage other nursing students, Fabian Schoppenhauer and Lucas Schliz have founded the "Initiative für akademisierte Pflege e.V." association. However, the network is not only intended to help members exchange ideas, but also to develop joint ideas for improving working conditions in nursing. With the association, the students want to give nursing staff a voice in various committees and represent their interests. It is also very important to them to promote social recognition of the nursing profession and to campaign for fair pay.
