Unregulated Covid-19 vaccinators a stop-gap for underinvestment in nurses

Unregulated Covid-19 vaccinators a stop-gap for underinvestment in nurses - union Meriana Johnsen © RNZ / Richard Tindiller New Zealand Nurses Organisation kaiwhakahaere Kerri Nuku is concerned non-clinical community health workers don t have adequate medical training or the backing of a professional body to be vaccinators. The largest nurses union has raised concerns about non-clinical staff giving Covid-19 vaccinations, saying it stems from a long-standing failure by the Ministry of Health to recruit more Māori nurses. Community health workers at Māori health providers will be trained to give the jab because there are not enough nurses and doctors. It has been lauded by Māori health providers who rely heavily on the non-clinical workforce, but it doesn t have the support of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation.

Latest DHB pay offer felt like April Fools joke - nurses

The DHB offer on pay is about a tenth of what members have asked for, says David Wait, NZNO industrial advisor for the DHB sector. Some senior nurses and nurse practitioners are being offered an increase of less than 1 percent. What we ve been offered is lower than the rate of inflation. Decade upon decade it s actually a pay cut if you look at it realistically. The price of stuff goes up but our salaries don t, says a nurse practitioner who spoke to Newshub under the condition of anonymity. DHBs made their offer on March 25 - the union put it to members last week.
