The nursing representative on the North Eastern Health Board has decided to remain on the board, despite signing a letter of resignation last month.
At the same time last month, the Irish Nurses Organisation issued a press release saying the resignation of Ms Nancy Allen was in protest at "the continuing and deepening inability of members of the health board to shape, influence and ensure delivery of quality health services to the people of the region".
The resignation came in the wake of the death of baby Bronagh Livingstone, after her mother Denise had sought help at Monaghan General Hospital having gone into labour at six months.
The hospital's maternity unit was closed two years ago. The baby was born while Denise was being transferred by ambulance to Cavan General Hospital.
An independent inquiry ordered by the Minister for Health found that Ms Livingstone should have been kept in Monaghan Hospital, while a medical team was sent from either Cavan or the Lourdes hospital in Drogheda.
This conflicted with the report of the North Eastern Health Board, which said the correct decision had been to transfer to Cavan.
At the subsequent meeting of the health board, the baby's grandfather walked out in protest at members not being allowed to debate the death.
A special meeting of the health board to discuss the independent report takes place next week, and Ms Allen will be one of the 30 health board members expected to attend.
