Diploma nursing students boycott class, hospital in B'baria
Diploma students of Brahmanbaria Nursing Institute yesterday began an indefinite class boycott and work abstention from Brahm-anbaria Sadar Hospital, protesting appointment of nurses from private institutes at government hospitals and the recent police action on nurses in Dhaka.
Their actions followed a series of protest programmes since Monday, which included rallies and processions in the town and handover of a memorandum to the Civil Surgeon.
They had also locked the offices of the superintendent of Nursing Institute and the Nursing Superviser at Brahmanbaria Sadar Hospital.
Earlier, they held a rally on the Nursing Institute campus.
Meanwhile, only the newly appointed nurses are working at the Sadar hospital. Each nurse has to take care of 50 to 60 patients a day, creating difficulties for the patients, hospital sources said.
