It certainly is the case in both Nursing and Midwifery. Many students are now coming out of their training with no job vacancies to apply for. All departments use the Staff Banks to cover shortages in Nursing and Midwifery Staff. Staff Bank pays the normal rate for a nurse and actually, often pays a lower grade than what the Nurses are already on. Agency is used to cover Medical Staff and it is incredibly expensive...
