As a means to ensure African nurses secure an opportunity to work overseas, The Kenya National Union of Nurses has launched training and sensitization exercises, which aim at ensuring they are in terms with requirements and policies in overseas countries.
The drive which has seen over 600 nurses across the six counties in Western and Nyanza region trained with skills and proficiency in language, aims at ensuring they mitigate the shame of big numbers of nurses failing to meet requirements, whenever an opportunity arises.
Speaking at a Busia Hotel, Justine Justus, a recruitment manager at The Kenya National Union of Nurses said that the union is aiming at linking-up nurses to the opportunity by ensuring they fast-track their training and registration with oversee bodies. "Our objective is to train them and register them to bodies such as the American Nurse Society among others, just to open-up their network for overseas job," noted Justice. "Our mission is to simplify registration exercises and save Kenyan nurses from falling victims of unlicensed bodies that are out to con them," he added.
In recent days there have been a rise of brokers who deceived Kenyans on overseas jobs only to end-up in scams.
