PHA says logistics for re-entry of nursing students to be completed in short order
NASSAU, BAHAMAS — A handful of nursing students from the University of the Bahamas (UB) demonstrated in Rawson Square yesterday over the inability to graduate due to what they said was the government’s failure to allow them to gain clinical service experience needed to graduate.
Grace Lightbourne, a nursing student representative and fourth-year student, said the government has allowed medical students and trained clinical nurses to rotate in the hospital to complete their graduation requirements, but nursing students have been left “on the sidelines”.
“We need nurses,” she said.
