Nursing Graduates Unemployed Yet Vacancies Exist

Delivering her keynote address, Dorcas Makgato said she is worried about the vacant positions in the health fraternity, yet so many graduates with the requisite qualifications are not being absorbed into the nursing profession. She added that there is a need for the graduates to meet all the relevant requirements and qualifications to be hired in order to fill the vacant posts.

Makgato said nurses who refuse to be transferred to rural places cause some of the vacant positions.
