Nursing hierarchy is a schitt show. Skilled nurses denied due to selective qualification requirements. A leg is still a leg no matter where you trained.ffs

I'm surprised Duffy is calling the Professor by his first name. I thought he would revert to "Prof"

Nurses compared to soldiers going over the trench in WW1.

Were nurses ever paid for training like this? If you didn’t agree why sign up to the course from day one? Go do something else if that didn’t suit.
Country is stone broke now

Student nurses were paid a proper wage when the traiing was hospital based and they worked a full 40 hour week and did night shifts, along with studying to become a nurse.

The constant 'Yeah'! makes him sound like a right so and so.

Based on a gob****e like Simon Harris and his musings on Twitter- my 36 years of life in Ireland has always thought that you never have something until the contract is signed, sealed and in your lap.
Yo come home without a contract agreed was simply fantasy stuff

"Its ranked around the top 50 in the world I think"


I would have thought the Director of Nursing Professor fella would know exactly where they ranked

Only problem with the cabal of nurses, teachers and cops is that they all want money l, and we would be back to the bad old days of benchmarking if the government caved in

O boy are we in for some ridin when the covid begins to fade away in the rear view mirror and the bill comes in, Someone will have to pay one way or another

So from my reckoning this Paul Horan guy has been on liveline at least 3 times the last few years

First time he was talking about his own mental health issues (he was going on about his marriage breakdown triggering it from what I recall)

Second time was last year (almost certain) where he was talking about his sons mental issues (drug addiction etc)

Third time was today - he now is a professor in trinity college nursing school apparently

Yes, it's a brilliant thread.

Strangely this fella has lost his balls before he got married

Out of all the fallout from COVID, the group I have least sympathy for is those who are choosing to postpone their "fantasy wedding".

You can still get married, you eejit!

Roger_007

Is it now a requirement to have live music to be legally married?

The government should just interview and hire nurses before they go to college. And pay them for the years of study. But demand say 10 years of service in return as after qualification. And only educate the number of nurses as what we need in this country. Let Australia pay for the education of their own nurses. That would quieten them down I'd say.
