Nurses call for better conditions to retain regional health workforce incentive scheme recruits

• The regional health workforce incentive scheme of the government includes up to $10,000 incentive packages and secondment and traineeship position expansion.
• Diane Lang, delegate of NSW Nurses and Midwives Association South East Regional Hospital, finds the scheme insufficient for the improvement of workers’ employment conditions.
• The nurses’ union points out the frustration, exhaustion, and fatigue of the staff.
• Nurses recognise the significance of per shift in preventing burnout.
