Fri, 25 Apr 2014A recent survey by multi-discipline healthcare recruiter, ID Medical, revealed over 82% of respondents agreed that Irish student nurses should earn more than the minimum €6.49 (£5.34) an hour wage.

During March 2014, the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) launched its Everyone Loves Nurses ‘Am I worth €6.49?’ campaign with a more-than 700 protestor-strong demonstration held at Dr Steeven’s Hospital in Dublin.

Local graduate nurses called for the state to pay a fair wage for the work that is carried out during their training phase, above the current €22k (€6.49 an hour) starting salary.
