@irelandamvmtv: "It's like the HSE are gaslighting parents, it's on you if you don't spot little details" First-time mother Kelly Donegan, who recently received a letter stating her child will miss a developmental check-up due to the shortage of public health nurses, and former Public Health Nurse Katie Mugan on the reasons behind the shortage #IrelandAM
Would love to be a PHN (experienced paeds nurse)- the need to have x2 years general experience needs to be revisited as a huge proportion of the work pertains to paediatrics and neonates.

Problems like this don’t only fail our children with additional needs but it puts a huge mental health strain on caregivers, we’re left floating in limbo with worry for our kids 😢

Maybe they should make it more accessible for registered nurses to do a PHN post grad and there wouldnt be such a shortage !!

My 11 year old has never had a public dental visit. One of my kids is over 3 years on a waiting list with HSE for an assessment. Our school roof leaks and there aren't enough SET staff to do IEPS.
