The pass rate of students in the Nurses State Final exam has leapt to 97% from the dismal 7% recorded last year.
The results were announced yesterday afternoon by the Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence during a ceremony held in the East Street parking lot, across from the Georgetown School of Nursing.
“I would just like to take this opportunity to thank God and thank all of you for giving to Guyana and to the medical profession an overall pass of 97%,” the minister announced to cheers that evolved into a standing ovation.
