COSTAATT Pres­i­dent Dr Kei­th Nurse says the col­lege re­mains com­mit­ted to close en­gage­ment with nurs­ing stu­dents and stake­hold­ers fol­low­ing com­plaints about the rein­tro­duc­tion of in-per­son lab ses­sions and clin­i­cals.

In a let­ter to Nurse, stu­dents from the School of Nurs­ing said the change from on­line to face-to-face class­es would dis­ad­van­tage full-time work­ers and those with long com­mutes, and point­ed to de­layed clin­i­cal place­ments in To­ba­go.

COSTAATT con­firmed it had re­ceived the let­ter and held meet­ings with stu­dents, but said in-per­son par­tic­i­pa­tion was es­sen­tial to meet pro­fes­sion­al and in­ter­na­tion­al stan­dards in health­care.
