From my very small sample size the main factors why people leave the job are 1. unreliable shift plans (having to fill in often and on short notice) 2. not enough time to take care of the patients needs (in other words too many patients per nurse) 3. harassment by male patients. I was kind of surprised that pay was not a complaint, but the money is apparently not that bad.
But I guess instead of quitting, some people just murder their patients, or give them saline injections instead of covid vaccines.
How much does pay actually matter in Germany? A while back I tried to understand the German income tax system and probably failed since it’s really quite complicated. But my takeaway from plugging in some numbers was that for families, after tax, incentives, child credit, benefits the gross income barely matters and you end up with more or less the same net income.
