Registered Nurse Assistants demand posting now for YEA and GHS

The Registered Nurse Assistants have demanded to be posted now following actions by the YEA and GHS which they deem as worrying.

The demand was tabled in a press release copied to Ghanaeducation.org. According to the group, there is a video of the Deputy finance minister circulating in which the Deputy finance minister stated emphatically that 2019 nurses and midwives have been cleared. They added that they have reason to believe the Hon. Minister meant ” the said clearance he stated was for the 2019 rotational allowance”.

Registered Nurse Assistants demand posting and matters arising

But we ain’t ending this.

“We are working “hand in hand “with Rotational Nurses leadership of 2019. Recently, a joint communique was sent to MoH by rotational nurses leadership on our financial clearance. Surprisingly, a few days ago, YEA and GHS have surreptitiously gone to sign a memorandum of understanding to train 3000 youth on zoom nurse module for the same work we were trained 2years for and also paid huge sums of money as fees.”

“There’s absolutely nothing good about this. It’s not about the competition or the name nurse alone that we don’t want them to be called. It’s absolutely insane to train someone to add up to an area u lack when u have already trained and licensed professionals to take up such a task. The hon made reference to the same module for the Ghana police service, let him judge for himself if a police officer has been trained and remained in the house for even six months before employment?”

Nurses will complete school and will be made to do service( Rotation) and afterward remain home at least a year long.

Is it by force to create employment? the group quizzed in their press statement.

“The problem isn’t just about the fact that government wants to introduce that module, our only problem is that government should employ professional nurses at home amounting to 20, 000 first and when the need be for more workforce, then he can think of making this addition through the YEA”

“We ain’t stopping here, we will make sure we push till the government and the whole nation gets to know we are still in the house and we need Clearance now !!!”
