UNREGISTER NURSES.
EXAMINATIONS NECESSARY.
[MY TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORUEST INO'.NT j
Wellington, Monday
Last session there was a question raised in the House of Representatives regarding the case of nurses who had performed years of valuable services in the back blocks, and whose assistance was eagerly sought by settlers, but who had been unable to pass the State examination, and could therefore not claim registration. The Minister at the time of the debate made certain promises in regard to simplified examinations in these special cases. Questioned on the matter, the Hon. Geo. Fowlds said that a time had been set for the re-examinations, but without reference to records he could not state whether they had yet been held. Every chance would be given nurses of practical experience, but perhaps deficient in. education, of passing. An examination was absolutely necessary, for the Government could not deal lightly with their responsibility to the public in this matter.
