The unavailability of a sufficient number of tutors to deliver courses within the nursing programme curriculum is currently being addressed by the Ministry of Health.The focus in this regard, according to Minister within the Health Ministry,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, Dr Bheri Ramsarran,NFL Jerseys Store, is on rehiring retired tutors on short-term contracts, a feature which has already been implemented at the Georgetown and New Amsterdam Schools of Nursing.He said, though, that not only has the ministry been losing tutors who are nurses, but also tutors in general.According to the minister, it was anticipated that, with the introduction of the Bachelor of Nursing Programme which is offered at the University of Guyana, some of the graduates would have opted to venture into the teaching stream.However,Wholesale Jerseys, he noted, most were attracted to other special,Wholesale Jerseys, prestigious programmes.According to Minister Ramsarran, the ministry is not only looking to recruit tutors who can start working right away,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, but is also working towards upgrading the skills of persons who have expressed an interest in tutoring.The minister said that a decision was made to select some of those graduates to upgrade them to the level required for tutoring the nursing programme.“We might have a person who wants to be a tutor but she doesn’t have Midwifery, or she has Midwifery but does not have certain hours of coaching in Pedagogic…So we have three Sisters we are bringing up to speed.
