HSE Extend Application Period For Nurse Scheme
The HSE’s controversial graduate nurse recruitment scheme is to be extended by two weeks, due to the rate of applications to date being slower than anticipated.
"As of yesterday we had a very slow level of application,” HSE Director of Human Resources Barry O’Brien told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland.
Adding: "The closing date was Friday and the history in job applications in health, is that it's usually the last 24 hours that we see the big rush.
"But from my analysis yesterday I was satisfied that we weren't in any way going to meet the 1,000 jobs."
The exact number of applications received so far is not yet known and Mr O’Brien refused to comment when asked by RTÉ.
The scheme has been criticised by nursing unions who have described it “cheap labour’ and have actively discouraged graduates from applying.
