The HSE has failed spectacularly in its feeble attempt to lure nurses back to a world of overcrowding and poor work environments.
The crumbling service had set a target to recruit 1,000 nurses, but less than 200 turned up for interviews, and eventually only 115 posts were filled.
The decrepitude of the health service is evident at every turn, as fewer and fewer nurses wish to work amidst continually overcrowded, unsafe, and warzone-like workplaces.
