My brother and I have recently decided to travel to Ireland for a year. We have a 1 year work visa lined up for this time. I am currently in a Bachelor of Nursing program here in Canada and will be taking a year off for the trip.
The reason I am posting today is this: In Canada we are able to work as Health Care Aids (aka. Nursing Aids) after our first year of Nursing. Is there any sort of program for student nurses to get work in and around Cork?
If not, does anyone know of any opportunities in Cork (and surrounding area) for student nurses?
I am basically looking for any health care opportunity in Cork City. My brother has work lined up here and I would really like to get some experience (even a little) with medicine in Ireland.
:yeahthat: Ireland sounds pretty much like the UK, as I figured it might be. I do cannulate & take bloods but I'm the exception not the rule. Our duties consist of everything! In the NHS we are expected to wash, make beds, clean beds & lockers, give out meds & food, chart, feed, hang IV's/bloods, insert ng's & female catheters (not male), do dressings, toilet, mobilise, assist patients/doctors as needed, be a general dogs body & attend ward rounds and so on.....
Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

hi everyone...i received the decision letter from ABA on my application and it requires me to undergo a period of adaptation before i can be eligble for registration.However, i need an employer or agency who can assist me for the adapatation period. So, im asking for any ideas from anyone who has been through my situation and could share their knowledge on how and where i can look for employers who can help me with this..
