I am informed by An Bord Altranais that it is not the case that an applicant for registration who is required to successfully complete a period of adaptation and assessment as a prerequisite to registration cannot apply for adaptation until he/she has secured a permanent job contract. Each applicant who is required to undertake adaptation is provided by An Bord Altranais with a list of approved sites for adaptation placements. The number of placements is limited, especially at the current time and all applicants are informed of this. Some hospitals only offer placements to those who have offers of employment, while others offer placements to individuals who have no contract or offer of employment.
