The Cabinet applauds the nurses who have consulted with the University of the West Indies – Five Islands Campus (UWI-FI) and who made a compelling case for improved certification of practical nurses, by seeking to earn Master Degrees in their discipline.
Following consultations, the University agreed to expand its nursing program by offering the higher degree, thereby allowing the nurses to improve the delivery of healthcare and to enhance their earning capacity, on full scholarship.
Nurses who attain degrees of Master of Science can be considered a certified Midwife, for example.
This step meets the government’s expectations to become qualified at all levels in order to strengthen the quality of healthcare delivery in Antigua and Barbuda.
Nurses previously were required to study abroad which would cause them to be away from their families; it often proved an impediment.

Nurses who.attain.a masters of science can be considered a certified midwife…hmmm
This article is really a laugh. Practical nurses to get Masters Dregee, masters of science to be midwife. What could cause this nonsense.
To have a masters degree you must first have a bachelor’s degree… to be a midwife you have to go school and learn to deliver babies. Utter non-sense. Somone please let this make sense as I have never seen such scumbuggery and foolish ideology ever. That is why you need a sensible PNO to govern the practices of antigua and barbuda nurses including their education. Not the one that kiss the rare anatomy to get where they want and make the nursing profession look like a laughing stock.
The minister of health wants to do what he wants and he no have a clue how to govern health much less to dictate what happens in the education of nurses.. no other country runs like this… only antigua
One piece a joke
