The Health Ministry is pleased to announce that those interested in pursuing a career in Health Care can now opt for the 1 year enrolled nurse program with the Fiji National University’s Medicine, Nursing & Health Service College.
This program will offer basic patient care training and those graduating from this will be able to provide a level of nursing care in communities, health centers, hospitals and private medical practices.
The Health Ministry is hoping to commence with this program in 2014 which will start off as a trial project with 35 candidates. Possible venue options are currently being negotiated.
Those enrolling in this program will undergo 6 months of theory work and 6 months of clinical hospital based training.
This new program will now allow young people a career choice and will also be a platform for a career opportunity in the region.
