Good Morning As a constitute of your electorate and voter in the past election I would like to express concerns regarding issues in the health sector.I am a 3rd year student nurse with degree in hand awaiting to sit NCNZ state final exams next tues, along with awaiting the outcome of a job interview with MCH on thurs, to enter the nurse entry to training programme(NETP).Currently with the restructing and budget blowout at MCH, care assistants and nurses hours are being trimmed to save $700,000. When voting for National, one of the promises made were that more frontline jobs would be made available with top heavy, overpaid management positions being axed?After spending 17wks on placement in different areas for MCH this year, having seen first hand what happens "on the floor" I find this unbelievable.)
Not to mention as a student the extra hours of assistance/help within the DHB for $0.00. Students are a commodity to DHB's, what other degrees study, work fulltime (the hours of our nurse perceptors) and recieve no benefit at all. Patient's and their famillies are horrified when they realise that as students we do not get paid, and yes we do it for the love, and the prospect of a job at the end
MoessAfter 3years and told we are a commodity with now maybe no prospect of a job (I as others are not in a position to leave the area, whereas up to half my class have positons across all DHB's and overseas and some are leaving not by choice but because of a lack of positons) is demoralising.
The Government funded learning institutions continue to "pump" out nurses, overseas (albeit experienced) nurses continue to enter New Zealand, yet New Zealand trained new graduate Registered Nurses are fighting for positons? Should we not be looking after, encouraging and fostering the new grads. The question is always asked why do new graduates head overseas?
