Nursing staff at Dublin's Rotunda Hospital, who went back to paid work yesterday, welcomed the Labour Court package at a meeting last night.
The hospital's nursing strike committee held a meeting with staff to explain the package, while other members worked their strike roster shifts.
Photocopies of the report and an explanatory leaflet were distributed to staff.
The chairwoman of the nurses' strike committee, Ms Anna Monaghan, said staff at the meeting considered the package a "good deal".
"They are pleased with the outcome and they are all looking forward to going back to work and getting back to normal," said Ms Monaghan, who is a principle midwifery tutor in the Rotunda's School of Midwifery.
General staff midwife Ms Ruth O'Toole, said she was content that her annual allowance would be increased from £328 before tax to £1,000 before tax.
Ms O'Toole, who has been qualified for seven years and earns £19,000 gross, said the mood among nurses was one of relief that an agreement has been reached. "It's a measurable improvement on the original Labour Court recommendation".
Staff midwife Ms Mary Sayers said she was glad to see things getting back to normal. "It wasn't very pleasant being on strike but it was something we had to do. The wards continued to be just as busy." Ms Sayers, who was working a shift from 6 p.m. to midnight on the 28-patient post-natal ward last night, said she had not studied the recommendations.
"Some people are happy and others are not happy with what they will be getting, especially with the lack of long-service increments," she said.
Staff midwife Maria Keane who was also working on the post-natal ward, said it was "a shame that it had to come to a strike for what we got. It's a shame the Government didn't talk to us beforehand and a lot of people feel quite angry about that."
Nurses at the Rotunda will not revert to their pre-strike rosters until tomorrow morning.
