20 new positions at the Mater Private Hospital
The roles were announced as part of a recruitment drive.
Nurses' don't necessarily have to go abroad for employment opportunities.
That's according to the Director of Nursing and Clinical Services at the Mater Private Hospital Dr Cathy Fuller who made the comments as they launched recruitment drive which includes 20 new positions.
The roles include general nurses, theatre nurses, clinical nurse managers and the City Gate facility are hiring immediately.
The moves comes as the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation claims there is a shortage of nurses nationwide, they are struggling to fill posts and Ireland is not as competitive with the UK and other countries.
It follows the announcement today that the INMO along with other nursing unions, have secured pay restoration for undergraduate nurses and midwives.
Speaking to RedFM News, Cathy Fuller says there are still opportunities in Ireland for nurses.
