Read it an actually weep if you are a nurse sitting idle on a recruitment panel for over a year with an embargo in place preventing you from saving the tax payer a hell of a lot of money.

Also refer back to a previous post of mine from December 2009 explaining that this was happening.

The report says "A staff nurse working at Deilginish, Shannon, received the highest amount at €41,103"
Thats seems an awful lot of money just for the overtime of one staff nurse.

I cant name names but its true, they are overtime hungry in clare. The embargo protects their interests, while graduates emigrate.:mad:

I don't dispute the job nurses do but in reality most people work hard. Nurses in this country are put on such a high pedistal its unreal. I have lived and worked in the states and UK and its always amazed the respect, and wages they receive here. Plenty of people are well qualified and work hard but a few are giving others in the PS a very bad name.
