Upgrading the nursing professions in the area of conflict between ethos and salary

with Dr. Juliane Dieterich and Lukas Kiepe (both University of Kassel)

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, there has been a fierce debate about upgrading the nursing profession. This debate is taking place both within the nursing profession and in politics. During the event, Dr. Juliane Dieterich and Lukas Kiepe will introduce the existing tension between ethos and money. Dr. Juliane Dieterich will focus on concepts of recognition in order to transfer them to the discourse on the nursing profession. She will trace the lines of development of professional ethics in terms of appreciation and devaluation and consider their relevance for the current discourse. Lukas Kiepe examines the improvised autonomy of collective bargaining in geriatric nursing and why the last federal government failed to strengthen collective pay. In this context, he looks in particular at initiatives such as the Concerted Action on Care, the Care Wages Improvement Act and aspects of the regulation of collective bargaining in SGB XI.
