Final year students of the Georgetown School of Nursing resumed their duties at the Georgetown Public Hospital on Tuesday, while promising to give the Ministry of Public Health one more week to come to a decision concerning the re-sitting of their professional nursing final exams.
It is the last exam the batch of 250 students were required to sit to gain their licences to practice.
“We are only going for seven days more, no longer,” nursing student Vibert Forde stated during a sit-in held on Tuesday, where as many as 30 nurses gathered at the D’Urban Park after meeting with the Minister within the Ministry of Public Health, Dr Karen Cummings. It was related that Dr Cummings had requested that they return to the wards for seven days, at the end of which a decision would be made.
