The health minister’s comments came as he said the major reason for the shortage over the years had been the regional nursing exam. Minister Bostic explained that the percentage of passes among the graduates from the Barbados Community College (BCC) taking the exam was not at the level it needed to be. But, he said since 2019, the number of persons passing that exam has been on the increase. He indicated that in April 2019 when concrete action was taken to address the problem, the pass rate was 55 per cent. It increased to 62 per cent in October 2019; 73 per cent in July 2020 and 75 per cent in November 2020. With that pass rate increasing, he stated, it is helping to build out the complement of nurses required.
“That has happened because we’ve been able to rationalise the offerings at the Barbados Community College with what is required by the nurses to pass the regional exam, and after a series of meetings involving all stakeholders, we were able to provide a programme to rectify this and obviously, we are seeing the results of our efforts,” he stated.
RE Well I also read cases where the nurses were not able to meet the required testing standards which resulted in failures
Maybe what u should do is take a look at the quality of those teaching the nursing program
MAYBE YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE PRESENTING
THERE IS A POINT AT WHICH TEACHERS CAN NOT HELP——AS EVIDENTLY IN YOUR CASE
THE GIRLS AT BCC COULD NOT PASS THE REGIONAL EXAM BECAUSE THEY WERE DUMB– JUST LIKE YOU
I TAUGHT NURSES FROM BCC IN THE CLINICS FROM 1985- 1995
AND I STILL TEACH NURSING STUDENTS ONLINE
UNLIKE YOU AND BOSTIC I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT
GO BACK TO YOUR MARK
AND RUN IN AGAIN AC
The great population exchange has begun. The first hundred African nurses are coming, the first hundred Barbadian nurses will hopefully soon be loaned to Saudi Arabia for labour service. That leaves another 79,900 rebellious locals to deport.
OOPS
LOOKS LIKE I STEP ON SOMEBODY CORNS

Guess you, Madame “ac”, can call today ‘V-Day’ (and not “B-Day”).
Not Victory for you but Vindication for being vilified by some bloggers like Enuff and John No.2.
You were told incessantly chastised for calling for a budget only to be told that the Estimates of Revenue & Expenditure were the only budget in Bridgetown.
Just to be safe in protecting yourself from the coming onslaught simply refer to the upcoming pappy-show as ‘the financial statement on the necessary fiscal measures required to help close the very wide gap between the projected revenues and the committed expenditures for the Government’s Financial Year 2022-23.
So which would you choose between the following two tax-revenue raising measures:
Increase VAT to a ‘flat’ 20% with a reduction in the number of items on the exempt and zero –rated lists?
Or a specific (additional) Tax on the chain of Fast Food Outlets to make the lazy NCD-ridden Bajans pay for their inevitable high health costs upfront; just like how motorists have to pay for the use of the roads?
Putting some flat footed inspectors on the ground to catch the big belly business super markets operators who takes price gouging to an extreme level would be some way of giving savings to the people
Also slapping them with heavy fines which can generate revenue for govt
VAT should also be lowered as. temporary measure to help the people cope
