Job stability for nurses in the Waikato? 🏥

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
