80 graduates without HSE offer despite 100 vacancies

None of the more than 80 nurses and midwives due to graduate shortly in Limerick has been offered a work contract by the HSE at a time when there are 100 vacancies across the University of Limerick hospital group.
Although 55 graduate nurses have been interviewed for jobs at University Hospital Limerick (UHL), where the number of patients on trolleys reached 76 yesterday, none has yet received an offer of work, according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO).
