‘Dubai is not for life’: HSE bid to lure Irish nurses home

The HSE is targeting nurses home for Christmas during a three-day open recruitment drive with walk-in interviews. 

The director general of the HSE, Tony O’Brien, hopes to tap into the “homing instinct” that often manifests at this time of year, to recruit Irish nurses working abroad.

Many nurses working abroad are in receipt of far higher salaries than they would receive here, however, Mr O’Brien argued that Dubai “is not for life”.
