hours a day,might solve the problem.
2. Hire from countries like Thailand.

They don't necessarily have to be Israeli. On the job training is another avenue. It's coming to that anyways. The medical profession was a bunch of quacks 150 years ago anyways. They were not highly qualified people...who were bleeding patients and questioning whether bacteria and viruses existed. Hire nurses aids and pay them a decent wage to help the nurses. When you need something to drink......food.......to be taken to the bathroom......and other mundane tasks that are not especially difficult....then I would rather have (someone) that can perform the task to help me.

wages and work conditions,there will be enough nurses.No need to import.
4. Double salaries!
Brian ,   Los Angeles USA   (02.29.12)
Do Israelis know how supply and demand work? Raise salaries, and people will be signing up to be nurses by the droves. Otherwise, prepare to start performing surgery on yourselves.
5. Have the government pay for the

education of all medical people. Then give them a bonus when they get their licenses and stay in Israel. Stop foreign companies from trying to hire Israeli nurses.
