Tara McCormackHalf the staff I worked with had left (some leaving nursing altogether) and the others were planning their escape.
COVID had taken its toll but this is compounded by the fact that the service was in ruin long before COVID - it’s not an excuse
I went in with treats to see my colleagues in the hospital recently - it was approx 1pm. Some staff still hadn’t had a break since 7am and they were down at least 2 HCAs and 1 nurse that shift with newly qualified and agency as primary staff #healthcareIreland
