Say what?

Roving reporter and Chair of the Association of Nursing Students Naomi Baker has been speaking to nurses and nursing students from around the world at ICN Congress.

Here's what some of them had to say about what they hope to gain from the event and the nursing issues that concern them...

Naomi Baker and Fisana Mabena"I hope to learn about the nursing opportunities that are available to me outside of Africa, but mostly, to meet and build networks with other nursing students from around the world."

Naomi Baker and Rhada Adhikan"The current nurse training culture in Nepal focusses on the premise that students will and should migrate on point of registration, leaving a huge impact on nurse workforce in Nepal, this is a massive issue which needs to be addressed."
