Nursing Graduates Face Financial Hardship as HSE Contracts Fail to Materialize
What happened
Up to 35 nursing graduates from Technological University of the Shannon Athlone are unable to start their careers because anticipated employment contracts with HSE could not be approved due to recruitment restrictions and budgetary considerations. Katie McGee, a 22-year-old graduate, was informed she could not take a position at Midlands Regional Hospital in Tullamore because her contract could not be approved.
