PM not opposed to nurses for export

Aspiring Nurse Leaders awarded in 2019

Cabinet Notes:

The Prime Minister expressed his interest in creating nurses for export to developed countries that are in dire need, and where incomes exceed what is affordable to governments in our sub-region.

An International Nursing Program is one of the objectives which the UWI Five Islands is destined to fulfil, the Cabinet asserted.

The law now limits the number of nurses to be trained annually to 20. An amendment to the law will be forthcoming shortly, and no limitations will be placed on the number.

Discussions have commenced with Howard University in Washington D.C., USA, when the President of that outstanding university visited Antigua last week and held talks with the Prime Minister.

The Vice Chancellor, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, has already established collaboration with Howard University in artificial intelligence programs.

  1. Export nurses when we don’t even make $3000 monthly.. we would leave on our own. They would probably sell us as slaves

    • I was thinking that this NURSE FOR EXPORT is a good thing. Trained nurses from Antigua getting a job and residency in US, Canada, England, earning much more than they would here and sending back some of that money to families here. Also, soon as they gets settled, they can send for children, Parents, whatever family member.

      This should not be too much of a problem, as long as the Government keeps training more nurses. I know the nurses can leave on their own, but that is it, they will be on their own. If it is organise by the Government, maybe The Government can put a system in place where they make sure that the migrated nurses are given proper accommodation and stuff like that. In short, the Government of Antigua will be their Workers Labour Union.

      But I am not a Nurse, maybe I am missing something here. So I am hoping Angry Nurse will let me the issues here.

  2. EXPORT: To send goods or services to another country for sale. What a shame coming from That Fat Round Head DAWG.
