Red tape hampers nursing services

HOSPITAL services around the country are suffering from the nursing shortage. I am dissatisfied and frustrated with An Bord Altranais (ABA), the nursing body that processes nurse registrations.

Red tape hampers nursing services

We have nurses, who came from Australia, available for work in this country. They began the process with ABA in January 2005 and they are still without nursing registration.

One Australian nurse, who has a nursing degree and many years’ experience has only just been informed that she will need to undergo a six-week adaptation programme, which, until now, ABA had advised her would not be necessary.
