Vincy nurses to migrate to Barbados

[precious33]

Hi Vincentian nurses will have an opprtunity to practice nursing in Barbados as a team of recruitors will be visiting our shores wednesday 12th march 2008 to conduct interviews .No midwife will be recruiting as some caribbean countries signed an agreement not to drain our midwives.This is so sad since a few of our nurses who are also midwives have their husbands working in Barbados and wishes to join them.The midwives who want to join their family were asked to resign and then apply,however they were also told that this will not guarantee they get the job.

The salary is very good ,much high than what we are getting here in St Vincent as a matter of fact we are the least paid nurses in the entire caribbean.

This is surely good news for the new grads who were threatened by the health ministered to go home in JUNE 2008 due to "excess" trained nurses.

No one knows though ,how many of these nurses the Bajan recruitors need.

Lets pray that all these nurses get a chance to migrate and thus maintain their RN status.It is really difficult for them ,some aquired loans and mortgages and are grieving since they heard the news from the minister that they are about to go home.This is difficult times for our country, Never before we had to send home nurses,infact over the years we employed nurses from Phillipines and Guyana.

Let us pray for their families.
