What is the immediate impact of the Royal Melbourne Hospital's decision to reverse its plan to reduce nurses' working hours?

The Royal Melbourne Hospital reversed its plan to reduce early-career nurses' working hours from four to three days per week, maintaining 0.8 FTE positions. This decision follows criticism and a request for explanation from the Health Minister, prompted by a recent $1.5 billion funding allocation to hospitals. The hospital aims to offer new contracts to affected nurses before the holiday break.
