You know it’s quite common elsewhere that you’d be expected to do some “donkey work” as well as take on management duties. Radical I know

The problem is that many nurses have no international experience or exposure to best international practice...this is true in every field...especially medicine. and please stop trying to make this a race issue ...its not

In 2019 there will be another two and a third large increase for new entrants to bring them up to pay parity. The cost for these increases is colossal not so much because they are exorbitant for the individual, but because we have 320,000 public sector workers. The paybill went up by a billion euros in 2018 alone. So, and what appears to be missing from much of the discourse, is that nurses have gotten pay increases. Quite a few of them,granted none as big as the large one now being sought. So, apart form being fairly unaffordable in its own right, I will also want such an increase if 100,000 of the PS get them and I know this makes the bill even more unaffordable.

alexmalalex wrote: » Listen Gertrude...you are spouting nonsense... International experience as a doctor or nurse means exposure to more conditions, diseases, and treatments... How many Irish nurses would be able to recognize thypoid fever, babiosis, etc... Internal experience matters greatly...

From the day a psychologist stood up in a courtroom or walked into a school board meeting society started to go downhill. A more useless bunch of individuals it is difficult to imagine. A total waste of resources.
