Nurses teacher and gardai , and all those other patriots, will have the "lamh" out in the new year looking for increases, once the vaccine is working. We'll be getting back to the dark days under Fianna Fail of benchmarking and public pay out of control

The problem at the moment is that they have the government over a barrel if they choose to go on strike. They will say that they need to strike while the iron is hot per se mar dhea

Ok before this unloads. The gov know full well thast if the trainee nurses get this pay ..........then roll up Guards, trainee anyone in the public service. if not they strike. Not saying they dont deserve it. Bigger problem is the roadblocks to registering fully qualified nurses from abroad.

I know what you're saying. But... they are trainees (frontline trainees) in a pandemic, I think they should get paid and check it every couple months until this is all over. As a public section worker (on low wages) I have absolutely no problem with this at all.

Trainees this time last year wouldnt have been paid, but it was part of it, and it wasnt a pandemic.

The Garda etc, wouldn't have a leg to stand on if it was set out this way.

Leo is right in this instance. I'm not down with this idolisation of the nurses. Similar is done with fire fighters and guards. These are jobs. There are good workers who go above and beyond in all sectors/industries.

The HSE secretary who is brilliant at scheduling appointments and running clinics is as important as the nurse who works on a ward.

Let's not forget these nurses recently went on strike for more pay - which they got.

nursing used to be a vocation not a career

Eh lady,you’d need not lump all healthcare workers in the same bracket....many of them get no pay whatsoever when on placement/training...(and never did)

Im in two minds about the nurses.

I mean, if i was offered training and a job at the end of it but i wouldn't be paid for two years, I'd have to think long and hard about it. But if I agreed to it, i wouldn't be complaining about the lack of pay. Those are the conditions I agreed to.

I remember a caller on liveline a while back who was training as a nurse.

As part oftheir training they need to do work experience, She maintains that she were earning less than minimum wage.

The nurses need to be paid what they are worth. No more and no less. I don;t know what that is but they should.

Nurses not even in the job yet are threatening they will walk as soon as they're qualified. Why should the tax payer & patients fund their education & training if they're just going to leave for another countries public health service?

Introduce a minimum time to serve in the Irish health service before heading off, otherwise they can go and train privately.

I know what you mean, to a degree.

My mum was a nurse for a long time (in fairness this was in NI at the height of the troubles) and she worked and studied extremely hard, I know she didn't get paid for all the hours she put in.

You would think they could support student nurses for those two years if they agreed to work for HSE etc for a certain number of years after qualifying etc.
