Three months after their professional lives were placed in limbo, student nurses across the country are breathing a sigh of relief as the Ministry of Public Health has finally decided on the way forward.
The 150 student nurses who wrote the multiple choice aspect of the 2016 State Final Examination for Professional Nurses have been asked to re-sit that examination on February 21. Last November, final-year nursing students were in tears after they were told that they would have to re-sit their final examinations since the Nursing Council had tangible evidence that the tests had been “compromised.”
The nurses objected to this decision asking that the council provide evidence of this compromise.
