Liberal nurses consider themselves forgotten by the health system and denounce the lack of revaluation, recognition of arduousness of their profession. Launched at the end of January in the Rhône-Alpes region in the wake of the farmers' movement, the mobilization of liberal nurses has already given rise to several dozen local demonstrations.
According to calculations by the Angry Liberal Nurses collective, nurses are paid on average 6 to 9 euros gross per hour, significantly less than the gross hourly minimum wage which is 11.65 euros.
