Frequent questions
What does a registered nurse earn in Switzerland?
Registered nurses (HF/FH) start at CHF 6,000–6,400 gross (×13) depending on canton. With experience the band reaches CHF 6,500–7,500, with a clinical specialisation (ICU, ER, anaesthesia) CHF 7,300–8,500. Night and weekend allowances often add 5–15% of annual salary.
Can I work as a nurse in Switzerland with a foreign diploma?
Yes. Nurses and FaGe need recognition by the Swiss Red Cross (NAREG registration); for nurses it takes up to 4 months from a complete dossier. TakeCare takes the procedure over for you: we file the application and cover the cost of recognition. Nursing assistants (Pflegehilfe) do not go through recognition but through the SRK equivalence procedure «Gleichwertigkeit Pflegehelfende SRK» — we file that application too and cover its costs.
Are there roles without night shifts?
Yes. Day clinics, practices, home-care day services and many long-term settings run without night shifts. TakeCare lets you filter by shift model — the first Swiss platform to do so.
What does the placement cost me?
Nothing. Our service is fully paid by employers — as Swiss recruitment law intends.
