The Struggle for Nursing Training Forms:
Becoming a certified nurse or midwife is a career goal for many young persons, and getting into nursing training college is the only means to this end. However, the passion and enthusiasm to pursue the ‘noble profession’ is often met with many challenges, one of which is getting application forms to buy.
Inadequacies in advertisement and public sensitization on the date of release and sales of forms have been a major challenge that persons who seek to further their education at the nursing training colleges have to deal with. Such persons are therefore compelled to rely on friends who are already in the training schools for information.
At other times, these desperate persons have to check post offices and banks from time to time till they finally hear or see the form being sold, and these put financial stresses on prospective applicants and their parents due to their going up and down in trying to get information on the availability of the forms, especially those from villages and other remote areas of the country.
