Nathalie Laghmari started her nursing job at the age of 23. She is one of those who chose to stay in category B “to be able to retire at 57 instead of 62 for those who choose category A”.
A choice that does not mean that this nurse from the Dreux hospital does not like her job. “But I think it’s a tiring job and when you get older, you’re no longer at your best. »
“Every morning, we are happy to go to work”: at 75, Chantal is not ready to retire
So the idea of having to work until the age of 64 seems totally unreasonable to him:
“I don’t see myself after 60 years running in an emergency to grab a stretcher to come to the aid of a sick person. We have information coming to us from all over: a request from a doctor, a question from a patient, an infusion to put on… I’m not sure I have the concentration necessary not to make a mistake. Working as a nurse until the age of 64 is risky for us and for the sick. »

Chantal Pain is a nursing assistant, also in category B, and speaks the same language as her nurse colleague.
“It does not necessarily show but we are broken. My shoulders hurt, I had back surgery. For me, the acceptable limit is 60 years, no more. »

The two carers also think “of those who have worked nights, alternating between night and day, these are very tiring rhythms. There is really a criterion of arduousness to which we must add the mental load ”.

If the retirement age increases to 64, “I fear that there will be a lot of sick leave in our ranks. We won’t last.”
