Job prospects and salary scale for nurses in Nepal and Abroad
I want to know what are the chances of getting job in Nepal after doing Bsc Nursing. I don’t want to go abroad so how difficult is it to make a nice career in nursing in Nepal. How much salary do hospitals pay for nurses in basic level? Also, If I change my mind and wish or plan to go abroad what is the salary of BSc nursing in abroad? Is there secure career after completing Nursing in Nepal? Salary of nurses in first few years of practice might be low but what is the average salary of nurses who work for more years in same hospital or experienced and talented nurses in Nepal.

Most of the Nurses are underpaid and forced to work long hours in most of the hospitals and clinics. There is no proper plans and wage/salary policies to nurses like many other professions. The other fact is there is high demand of nurse but CMA ,ANM are still working as Nurse thus there is no difference between Staff Nurse, B.sc, BN nurse. There is very limited scope for Nursing manager, Nursing Researcher,Nursing Administrator , Nursing Scientist in Nepal.
Many Nurses or nursing students plan to move abroad so they don’t complain much about the exploitation of their labor by hospitals since most see their jobs as temporary. Hospitals, doctors, Nursing colleges are making tons of money but their backbone; nurses are always underpaid and not given much importance and recognition they deserve. This is the sad part about Nursing in Nepal.
Talking about job prospects, it is relatively easy to find a job since turnover is high and many nurses move abroad leaving positions vacant for new applicants. The scope of nursing be it Bsc Nursing, staff nurse, BN is increasing with increase in number of hospitals, care homes and clinics.
