One thing I’ve definitely noticed since the student nurse and midwives pay campaign is how wards are much more prioritising supernumerary statuses and learning objectives

So just after the first 9week internship block , how has it been for you? It’s been soso for me , good days bad days 🥴

@NurseTutor_Sara @StNurseProject @RCNStudents @MaevePUNC2020 @PlymUniHealth Friends..they’re easier to find in college as there’s less groups and cliques . We’re all on the same boat ✨

I signed a waiver form to gift all pay increases paid to TD’s from 1st April 2017 to the end of this year back to the taxpayer. The amount returned is €10,203,70. TD’s get paid enough. Pay increases for TD’s while Student Nurses & Midwives are still waiting to be paid is unjust!

[StudentNurses2020 @SNurses2020]

To all student nurses and midwives you’re my heroes ✨

Last day in ICU today, got a small little surprise party for evening tea as-well as a small hamper of goodies, one of the most pressurised, stressful wards in the hospital yet the kindest most supportive staff💓 it’s the little things .. straight into ED tomorrow..3rd long day 😣

Bad enough having to wait every fortnight for pay but my first pay was messed up by revenue, second was messed up by payroll department ..have to wait 2wks again for my full proper pay, it’s a good think student nurses/MWs don’t need the money ..😡

[Peadar Tóibín TD @Toibin1]

The government need to cut out the cheap words, and the patronising clapping and pay Student Nurses for the phenomenal work they are doing on the front lines. Now.

@LiverpoolAreMa1 I’m happy to discuss any other questions you may have in direct message if you’d like. I appreciate your willingness to educate yourself on our situation and I hope you see why we are so frustrated

Meanwhile I’m working in an intensive care covid unit as an Intern General nurse on 10.68 an hour .. laying 130/wk rent,bills,oil,car bills,driving lessons,groceries at 21

An €81,000 pay increase for incoming Secretary General of Dept of Health sanctioned by Micheál Martin, Leo Varadkar and Eamon Ryan.

[StudentNurses2020 @SNurses2020]

@LiverpoolAreMa1 @scusemegirl @MaryLouMcDonald Yes of course, as with any profession, however it’s not as easy as that for a lot and yes patient caseload is within that scope, the issue is the pay or support we receive does not reflect the amount of duties we carry out even within our scope

[StudentNurses2020 @SNurses2020]

@scusemegirl @LiverpoolAreMa1 @MaryLouMcDonald Additionally to this, the shift in ICU is still 13 hours , I am wonderully supported by the staff but no support from anyone can prepare you for the things you see in an ICU or for the amount of deaths you see each week . Patient Caseload isn’t always the biggest weight carried

[StudentNurses2020 @SNurses2020]

@scusemegirl @LiverpoolAreMa1 @MaryLouMcDonald In ICU, even fourth years cannot take a patient, only skilled iCu nurses can, many staff nurses couldn’t even take an icu patient.

@laurawithwoman Here for you always 💕 you’ve got this , you can do it x

[StudentNurses2020 @SNurses2020]

@Way831 @MaryLouMcDonald If all student nurses left when it was hard , you would have no one left to look after you,your family or your friends in the future. Read back on my page , educate yourself, we love being nurses and midwives we don’t like the disrespect and disregard.
