High failure rate of trainee nurses rings alarm bells
HALF of the trainees in government nursing schools failed to make the grade in their final examinations, reported China Press.
The daily quoted Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek as saying that the number of such trainees had reached a worrying rate.
He said the ministry would investigate the reasons for such a situation through a committee led by the ministry’s parliamentary secretary, Lee Kah Choon.
He said trainees in private nursing schools, who also went through the same training programme, had achieved a 100% passes in their examinations.
It was speculated that the unsatisfying entry qualification of nurses in government schools was the main reason these nurses did not do well.
