招聘拭子测试员薪资引争议 卫生部澄清该工作属短期合约

为了能够应付大量的检测工作,政府欲招募数以千计的拭子检测人员和助理。然而,此举却引发部分医护人员的不满,有护士在网络上发文,直指拥有专业背景的护士薪资,竟不如非专业的拭子检测人员。 据该护士称,应届毕业的护士平均薪资约1千900元左右,甚至在工作了五至六年后都不一定达到3千800元月薪,然而未有任何的医疗专业背景下,竟然可以在短时间内获得3千800元的薪资。 对此,卫生部于今日(15日)回复媒体询问,拭子检测工作属于短期合约,与全职医护专业人士不同,并没有任何升迁的机会,也不会给予额外的补贴或花红。 而至于大量聘请测试员是为了要应付大规模的病毒检测工作。 卫生部亦表示,本地注册护士入行时,其月薪加上补贴和花红,也会在3300元至5200元,而且他们每年都会加薪,并有培训机构让他们可以发展成为临床护师(Nurse Clinician)、教育者或领导者。
