MALE NURSES’ EXAMINATION
Delav Provokes Protest (NX. Press Association) AUCKLAND, October 24. The Auckland Hospital Board will make the “strongest possible representations” to the Government over the refusal of the Nurses and Midwives Board not to hold a final examination for male nurses this year. The board has two male nurses who have completed three years’ training and who are ready to sit the examination. “We do not want to cross swords with the Nurses and Midwives Board, but I am completely unable to understand their attitude." said Mr T H. C. Caughey, chairman of the Hospital Board tonight. “It is arbitrary and un-co-operative ahd most discouraging to the men concerned and to the board’s efforts in providing training for these male nurses.”
Mr Caughey told the board that the Midwives Board said it did not propose to hold the final examination this year or. indeed, until sufficient numbers trained under the new curriculum were available. The examination might not be held until June, 1962.
