Totally agree with your comments. Being paid 80% of the current base rate salary is huge for a person still in college.
We dont have the money anymore to feed all these types of things. Everyone has taken a cut, we all have to feel the pain !
. I don't know any other group that gets paid to achieve a degree - it's called internship (which stretches to after achieving a degree in many careers)
.
based on what?Of course they should get paid but 80% of the base salary is too high.
are you saying student nurses don't?they did real jobs
what's a "normal" salary?of a normal employees salary.
let's hope they all have Mammy's & Daddy's who can financially look after themSo it is back to Mammy and Daddy to keep funding them
Of course they should get paid but 80% of the base salary is too high. Mpsox, I used to work for a company that hired plenty of UL students and they did real jobs and were paid well for students but were not paid 80% of a normal employees salary. Maybe you were just lucky!

Plenty of other examples of students/apprentices getting paid, accountants are one group that spring to mind
It is actually a very cheap form of labour, and the hospitals would pretty much shut down overnight without this cheap labour.I just think it is a very expensive form of training.
The worst point is that we are training them for hospitals in the U.K. U.S.A. Canada etc while the H.S.E. spends millions "saving" money by hiring agency nurses
Plenty of people do, for example, when I was in UL studying for a degree, I spent 2 6 month work placements in 2 different companies over the duration of the course and got paid for it as did everyone else in my year. Why should employers get staff for free?, after all, student nurses do many of the tasks that a full time nurse does. Would you expect apprentice electricians or carpenters to work for nothing for a number of years whilst they qualify.?
