Global Health Nursing & Midwifery

Is the age requirement not discriminatory?.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a
day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something
else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts
forever."**Lance Armstrong***

Adanze, I agree the age requirement is unusual, though their stated intent is to train young professionals. I would encourage you to email the coordinator with any questions:

This is a very good course, in fact any thing with a tinge of Florence
Nightingale, the Lady who at forty opened the first modern Nursing School,
should stimulate attention. I am certainly going to share this iformation
with colleagues to share with others so that interested candidates could
apply.

One quick question is whether being a president of the Nurses, Midwives and
Health Technicians of Cameroon, I could ask for one or two bursaries to be
allocated to us, we are about 10000 strong I would be able to have two of
my nurses do this course?
