Nurses demand stop to sporadic salary payments

Nurses demand stop to sporadic salary payments

The local association representing nurses across Barbados says there must be no return to the inadequate treatment of nurses in a post-COVID-19 environment.

The position from President of the Barbados Nurses Association, Joanna Waterman , comes as the sector celebrates International Nurses Week, from today.

She told Starcom Network News that the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a lot of the labour issues plaguing nurses and hopes the authorities resolve these matters post-COVID-19.

Ms. Waterman said with this being Nurses Week and the year of the nurse and midwife by the World Health Organization , the pandemic has thrust nurses into the spotlight and the message has to be one of empowerment.  She says they must be looked at as an investment and not a cost.
