page 4 THE OTHER PRESS November 30th, 1984 NURSING SCHOOLS TAKE-OVER The B.C. government plans to take - control of nursing-association-run nur- sing schools in the province and has left nurses worried that it may ignore goals set out by their national profes- sional association. VANCOUVER [CUP] Provincial health minister Jim Neilsen wrote the Registered Nurses Association of B.C. a letter in Sept- ember, saying he will change the B.C. Registered Nurses Act in a bid to seize control of the curriculum of all B.C. nursing schools. The move means the association will not be able to approve curricula and paves the way for the government to ignore the Canadian Nursing Associa- tion goal of nurses having a bachelor’s degree in the field by the year 2,000. Many nurses only have two year training in a hospital or technical school because they cannot afford to go to university. Ethel Warbinek, nursing association board member, says the plan to introduce legislation taking control of the schools allows the government to standardize nursing programs offered at the University of B.C., community colleges in B.C. and the Vancouver General Hospital to save money. Warbinek says Neilsen’s letter has shocked across the province. ‘I think the proposed change bothers the whole nursing profession. The faculty at UBC are very upset,’’ she says. “(The letter) took the association by surprise. There was no warning of any kind. There was no consultation.’’ Health and education ministry offi- cials deny any knowledge of the proposed change. Health information officer Terry Moran says the govern- ment is reviewing the Registered Nurses Act but he knew nothing about the transfer of approval to the govern- ment. Education information officer Dick Melville says he also had not heard of the transfer. oe Se ee ee eS ee I PLEASE ENTER MEIN THE | Clip out this entry form and keep it handy.
