Spark needed for change in nursing profession


I AM responding to the following three letters on nursing and nurses: “Family members doing nurses’ job” by Anne Swinitha Rajaratnam, (The Star, May 25), “Blame the system, not the nurses” by Matron Pat (May 30) and “More to nursing than meets the eye” by Professor Zahrah Saad, MAHSA University (June 14).

In her letter, Anne claimed that family members have to take leave from work to look after their relatives admitted to government hospitals. She said she was flabbergasted with the situation and questioned why nurses are not doing their nursing job.
