Following the success of the Czech Republic plastic perks for nurses, other countries and hospitals are using the same formula to lure in employees. However this trend isn't happening in the public sector of hospitals, it is focused primarily on private hospitals who can afford to cut costs on plastic surgery procedures for employees.
The Vancouver Sun said, "Despite a worldwide shortage of nurses, there is no such perk for nurses in British Columbia, at least not in the public health care system. But in Vancouver's private surgical clinics, nurses - once employed there - could probably get a very good price on implants or other cosmetic surgery. Nurses in private hospitals are not only paid higher wages than those in the public system, they also get a break on cosmetic and other elective surgery fees."
Industry observers are now wondering if this will be a trend in other fields, offering junkets and cosmetic perks to beat out competitors or prove to be the best workplace for in a struggling economy. Regardless, the Czech plastic surgery way has rubbed off on other plastic loving countries as well.
