Job stability for nurses in the Waikato? 🏥
Waikato Hospital typically brings new graduates on at 0.8 or 0.9 FTE, but recent interviewees are being told the only roles available are part-time at just 0.6 FTE.
Nurses are essential, and our health system is already under pressure, so why aren’t we offering these new nurses the secure roles they’ve trained for?
We want to know: Are we unintentionally training New Zealand nurses for the Australian job market?

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
