How Ghana Changed The Exodus Of Nurses

Ghana's government has scrapped a controversial ban on newly qualified nurses traveling to find more lucrative employment abroad.

They introduced it 10 years ago when the West African country was suffering from a shortfall of nurses as many headed off for better opportunities in the West.

It began a scheme funding the education of nurses who then had to agree to work for the next five years in Ghana.

But now the government says it has enough nurses and it is no longer useful to keep them under bond.

"There are now more private schools churning out nurses and some of them can't even find jobs," Dr Kwesi Abir, the health ministry's deputy director of human resources, told the BBC.

Sexual Harassment Of Nurses 2 ( VIDEO)

Harassment of nurses happen in the different settings they work.Sometimes it could even be from senior directors but most times,its from the people for which they are in the hospital to care for-the patients.

Sexual Harassment By Patients,Ever Experienced it?

Have you ever had this experience? After reading kindly share your experience below in the comment box to help other nurses know how you handled it.

Many nurses have had to contend with this issue at one time or the other in the course of their practice.

I have personally noted this most times especially in surgical or orthopedic open ward when patients are not necessarily ill but are simply incapacitated because of certain orthopedic impediment.Hence all other parts of the body including the perception and speech are intact.

Nurses have also reported sexual advances in patients private rooms where they had gone to care for such.Nurse are caring and patients sometimes misunderstand this to mean a call reason to advance.
