Georgetown: A new batch of nurses, numbering 51 (21 Nursing Assistants and 30 Professional Nurses) has been inducted for training at the Kingston Nursing School Annex. They are currently undergoing orientation and are set to begin training early next month.
This is the 126th batch of Professional Nurses and the 69th batch of Nursing Assistants to have been enlisted for training.
Jermaine Levi who was chosen to study Professional Nursing felt honoured. “It’s an honour to be selected by the Government and my country to do something so important and I think my fellow batch mates would agree. After training I would like to upgrade and study medicine.”
Latisha Bailey is yet another student who felt happy for the opportunity to become a nurse and would continue in the midwifery programme and then go on to the University of Guyana to obtain a degree in nursing.
Naomi Singh was happy and thanked the Ministry of Health and the Government for allowing her the opportunity at the Nursing School. She plans to pursue studies for a PHD.
Adrian Kemo Canjis alluded to the conducive environment, as well as the teachers and classmates whom he said are all friendly.
Dionne Pompei noted that while it was a lovely experience for her, meeting other persons and nursing in general, “it’s a lovely profession for anyone to pick up and afterward I hopefully will have to serve back my country.” She added that she will also further her education, perhaps get a diploma then continue to climb higher.
