During the campaigns you promised everything under the sun. You claim you created 110 jobs within 100 days so why should the nurses be left out? Please let me ask.ARE YOU COMPETENT OR INCOMPETENT?

You completed your National Service in August 2016 when dead goat was misruling the country and you keopt mute. Here is a minister who has not even done 60 days and you want him to be fired. You will always remain like this more so now that doctors have left you in the bargaining. Whether you are NDC or NPP this does not make sense. Is it mandatory for government to employ nurses after graduation?Reason for your own betterment.

I have been screaming myself hoarse for over five years for the government to divert some of the funding and focus from Nursing to other programs such as Dentistry,Veterinary,Agric Schools,Skilled labour in construction,etc.I can count on one hand how many dentists we have in certain regions and some other regions don't even have a single dentist.We don't need all our youth to end up in nursing even if that is not their calling or passion.

If this is the language your leadership can use, then you should start sending in your mattresses, sponges, towels and so on, and sleep there.

As young people, you must know how to be template in your language. If I were in a position of influence, I would rather ask government to listen to those who respect themselves. The way your leaders are talking shows the kind of nursing services you may render to the good people of Ghana. Your arrogance and disrespect will show in your relationship with patients. I cry for Ghana with these kind of prospective nurses.

In any case, who says you can not look for employment in the private sector? Why is it that everyone is looking up to the government for employment when there are a lot of private hospitals and clinics?

Fact is, your attitude to work does not help the private sector grow, and therefore unable to pay you well.

Which language did the nurses use that you find inappropriate? Akufo Addo and NPP told NDC and Mahama that they are INCOMPETENT because they could not place the trained nurses. Akufo Addo said he is 'COMPETENT' so everyone should vote for him. Mr Paul all that the nurses are saying is that since Akufo Addo claims he is "competent" he should give them jobs. that is all. And if Akufo Addo cannot find them jobs THEN HE IS ALSO INCOMPETENT. Mr Paul, don't you know LIFE IS AN ECHO? Whatever Akufo Addo said will come back to him.

It seems right to propose a moratorium on certain educational institutions for a while to avert a possible crash in the our employment system.Infact,we need more schools,more politechs,Universities etc,but after completion, where are these qualified men and women going to work. Most of these qualified men and women have lost their lives for lack of employment in the country.Government should come out with a compremensive plan to create jobs to alleviate the sufferings of these qualified youth.

My dear HHHHHHHHH, leave the politicians to use their 'political language'. When the day of reckoning hits them, they say, 'it is political talk'. So, let's leave them. My concern is such young people wanting employment from government and using such words as incompetent, and threatening, to the extent of calling on the President to fire the Health Minister for not getting them employed within 100 days, is to me, unfortunate.

They cannot allow themselves to be pushed by self conceited politicians to be stampeding the government into taking certain actions. They should rather pray that the government is able to turn things around for them to be employed. A focused government will not be intimated this way. They should get to know that

The nurses that were posted, the clearance and
everything was done during the NDC era. The
NPP only held it on for sometime. Akufo Addo
Made it absolutely clear that he will give them jobs
and that Manama is incompetent. So why should
they be in the house when competent man is in
Power? But soon Ghanaians will know this
government is incompetent among incompetents.

They have DISGRACED themselves by calling the health minister 'incompetent'. They seem not know how to fight and request for something that they are due.
THEIR PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT could not do for them so they should allow themselves to be settled appropriately that rushing. It seems they are all NDC guys because they can't think far. INDEED

In the first place you nurses need an update before going back to practise,as you have by now you have lost most of your skills. Secondly be advised that, the previous government laid embargo on public sector jobs , including nurse shortlisting, so why don't you ppl exercise restraint for this maiden government to lift that embargo and take it from there.
