Hello Eddie
I think its a good idea, provided the ladies in Goa are interested. unfortunately, as is the case with the things happening in Porvorim at the Food craft institute, where most of the students are non goans, and its all the fault of Goans, who dont seem to be interested, hence outsiders have to be given the chance of joining.
Hope this nursing college does not lead to the same.
============================================== Folks,
1. I do not understand why the Nursing College in Goa would be a good idea ONLY if it attracted local candidates.
2. Some of those who qualify would hopefully choose to stay in Goa and provide a valuable service. For many years now there has been a grave shortage of nurses in Goa. Getting a nurse to look after the elderly is virtually impossible in Goa and the preferred option is to engage staff from Kerala This means making a personal trip to collect the nurse and the period of employment is limited to 6 months max.
3. It would be a shame if entry to the Nursing College was restricted to females. I think male nurses are accepted all over the world.
4. Is it being suggested that the Food Craft Institute should close because most of the students are non-Goans? Here in the UK the majority of students in medical colleges are Asians. Is that an acceptable reason for closing them?
5. Where does Jerry live? If it is outside Goa, does he accept discrimination basted ethnicity?
Cheers,
Eddie Fernandes
