Following government’s claim that they are under no obligation to employ nurses from private institutions, the coalition of Unemployed Private Nurses has asked the authorities involved in issuing accreditation to private nursing schools to withdraw their licenses.<\/p>\n

According to them, they were assured of employment immediately after passing their licensing exams but if the private nursing schools cannot ensure their recruitment, then they serve no purpose.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”YFJITmHnsTZ44mocajOTkyeyB578M5kV”]The Unemployed Private Nurses have also asserted that\u00a0government is discriminating against them by posting only nurses from public training institutions.<\/p>\n

Public Relations Officer of the Health Ministry, Tony Goodman, announced that government will for now concentrate on employing nurses in the public sector<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, since it has signed an agreement to fulfill that obligation.<\/p>\n

But the Spokesperson of the Coalition, John Nketia,\u00a0in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> indicated that principals of the various private accredited nursing institutions were deceiving trainees into believing they will secure jobs after their training but that has not happened.<\/p>\n

He has thus suggested Government consider closing down the private accredited nursing institutions\u00a0if\u00a0 they cannot provide jobs for their trainees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf nothing better comes out of it, then there will be nothing left but for the Ministry of Health and government to close down all the private accredited institutions because the school owners, they themselves have no hospitals that the trainees can be recruited into,\u201d Mr. Nketia stated.<\/p>\n

Recently, over 2,000 nurses and midwives <\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0trained by public institutions who \u00a0have not been employed, demonstrated against government for not engaging them.<\/p>\n
