With heavy heart, I?write as I do empathise with this new generation of nurses and the silly Nursing Council toss-up. Where is PM?Kamla and Jack W? Please disband and disarm that organisation that is keeping our children back, resulting in mass importation of medical personnel, and thousands spent on recruiting them.
Is this NC?exam a rope around the necks of our youths, thus hampering our effort to produce nurses en masse as Cuba and the Philippines? In retrospect their former peers, who for most part came directly from the Red Cross and St John's?Ambulance Brigade, had a primary School Leaving Certificate or had some political affiliation of a bygone era.
Most did pretty well and that's my point-with new technology, higher learning nursing institutions and a new generation who wants to be nurses (given other exciting occupational choices) they too will also do well. Back off, Nursing Council and let (as seen on?TV) lecturer Newrol Henry, Ray Baksh and?S Ramsamooj be front-runners for change in no small way on behalf of all concerned. Indeed, the thought gratifies the senses as we anxiously await redress after decades.
