Students successful in interviews yet posts not available

Graduates from Glasgow Caledonian University were interviewed for roles in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde but were told no jobs were available.

One member of staff at the Royal Hospital for Children said: "These nurses have been thrown on the scrapheap.

"How can this be right? Three years of study and countless thousands of pounds to train them and now they can't even get jobs to fulfill the required hours for their nursing registration."

As part of the application process, students had to write 2000 words, go to multiple open days then attend an interview while in the middle of exam.

But at the weekend they were finally given letters - only to find there were no jobs available.
