Nurse grads demand help from govt

Graduates from Nakhon Ratchasima College's Nursing Faculty are reportedly being pressured to resign from hospitals where they work as the college faces the possibility of being shut down due to substandard teaching.

The former students, some of whom are employed as assistant nurses on yearly contracts, said yesterday the hospitals were asking them to prepare resignation letters because they lack official nursing certificates.

Because the college has failed to meet government standards, graduates cannot apply for professional certification from the Thailand Nursing Council (TNC). Without the certification, their contracts are unlikely to be renewed.
