The Health Services Board is inviting applications from qualified unemployed registered general nurses, primary care nurses and retired nurses below the age of 70.
In a statement yesterday, it said: "The Health Services Board and the Ministry of Health and Child Care urgently invite applications from qualified unemployed registered general nurses, primary care nurses and similarly retired nurses below the age of 70 to fill nursing posts in the health service. Interested applicants should submit their applications to the nearest central hospital, provincial hospital and the provincial medical directorate offices with immediate effect. All applications should have valid practising certificates. In the interim, all members who are on vacation leave, annual leave, and nights off are instructed to report for duty with immediate effect."
Government on Tuesday fired all striking nurses after they refused to return to work even though the employer acceded to their demands and availed $17 114 446.
