ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – The Nurses and Midwives Council is warning persons against participating in and completing education programs at institutions not certified by the competent authority.
In a statement, NMC chairperson Nester Edwards Chairperson said people interested in the nursing program at any institution in Grenada must find out its status under Act 15 of 2003.
“The Nurses and Midwives Council of Grenada wishes to advise the public of its responsibility under section 7 (I) of the Nurses and Midwives Registration Act No.15, 2003, to certify suitable nursing schools in Grenada, together with the buildings, teachers, facilities, and curriculum,” the statement said.
“Therefore, before registering for any nursing education program in Grenada, the public is advised to enquire whether the program is certified by the Nurses and Midwives Council of Grenada,” it added.
The Council is also to verify the qualifications of overseas training institutions in nursing and midwifery and prescribe continuing professional education for nurses and midwives registered under the existing legislation.
