What do you think best explains a hospital porter earning almost double what a trained surgical nurse does?

According to a recent report, a hospital porter in Hungary can earn up to 800,000 forints a month, while a trained surgical nurse earns only 360,000.

  • Overtime and allowances are skewing the pay gap
  • The nursing pay scale is outdated and ignores qualifications
  • Hospitals set wages individually — this is just one outlier case
  • A deliberate policy failure that needs fixing immediately
