704 patients have been admitted to hospital without a bed this morning according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.

Almost 3 out of 4 intern nurses and midwives (73%) said staffing levels in their workplaces were not sufficient to support a positive learning environment, according to a new survey published today by the INMO. 

The Nursing and Midwifery Work and Wellbeing Survey published today by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, at their Annual Delegate Conference, reveals that 94% of nurses and midwives consider that work is negatively impacting their psychological wellbeing, while 89% of respondents said they were at least somewhat burnt out because of work.
