Senior Staff Nurse

Monday, 15 July 2013 09:10

Colleagues,

Following the acceptance of the Haddington Road Agreement, the HSE must re-instate the Senior Staff Nurse grade as per the wording in Section 5. (Page 40)

The management agree to restore the Senior Staff Nurse grade in the manner it originally operated

with effect from the operative date of this agreement, i.e. on that date all currently eligible nurses will

be appointed – appointments will thereafter be made on 5th November annually.

To that end all members who feel they qualify for the senior staff nurse grade must ensure that they notify their employer of that entitlement. Do not assume that your employer will automatically apply the grade to you.

For the revised Senior Staff nurse criteria circular click here

The revised circular states that the criteria for application to the Grade is 20 years post graduate genuine nursing experience.

Please note the Application form that should be forwarded to your employer straight away.

Regards,

Peter Hughes

Industrial Relations Officer

NMBI Launch Social Media Guidance

Tuesday, 22 October 2013 09:39

The NMBI launched their guidance document, on the use of social media/ networking, at their annual conference held on Wednesday, 9th October 2013.

The PNA actively contributed to the development of the guidance document and top tips for Nurses and Midwives. We believe both documents are essential reading for all nurses and midwives highlighting the benefits of appropriate use and the consequences of improper use and are important reference documents.
