A top nursing official believes that a variety of incentives need to be implemented by the relevant officials in order to address the migration of nurses in the country.
President of the Antigua and Barbuda Nurses Association (ABNA) Soria Dupie-Winston suggests that the availability of scholarships and even the offering of specialty nursing courses at the UWI Five Islands Campus could encourage nurses to remain in the country.
“I have spoken to several nurses and if this offered here, within two years of it being offered we will have our full quota of certified nurses,” she said yesterday as the ABNA observes Nurses Week.
