Blame the system, not the nurses

I WOULD like to enlighten the writer of the letter “Family members doing the nurse’s job” (The Star, May 25) in my capacity as a former nurse and now as a customer of the nursing service.

I will not deny that what she has observed is true. Instead, I would like the Finance Ministry, Public Service Department and Health Ministry to explain why there are so many graduate nurses working in KFC outlets and other places when they are really needed in our overcrowded public hospitals.
