FNI

The FNI (Fédération Nationale des Infirmiers), representing independent nurses in France, is in the news due to a recent agreement reached with the Assurance-maladie (health insurance) regarding increased compensation. This agreement aims to revalue the income of independent nurses by €500 million. The agreement was reached after years of stagnation in compensation for these nurses. The new agreement will increase the tariffs for technical procedures and the care of dependent patients. Individual nurses are expected to see their remuneration increase, with an estimated gain of approximately €410 by the end of 2026, and nearly €2,500 per year in 2027 and 2028. On average, this translates to an increase of about €300 per month per nurse. This agreement is significant as it impacts the financial well-being of approximately 130,000 independent nurses in France and addresses long-standing concerns about inadequate compensation.
