34 STUDENTS AWARDED DIPLOMAS IN NURSING

By Friday Simbaya, Songea

At least 34 students of Peramiho School of Nursing and Midwifery the
missionary college of Benedictine Fathers have been conferred with
Diplomas in Nursing NTA Level 6 yesterday during the 59th graduation
ceremony, the Guardian on Sunday has confirmed.
The awarding of diplomas was done the Ruvuma Regional Nursing Officer,
Bernadetha  Ndumbalo, who was the guest honour during the  graduation
ceremony held at college grounds.
According to the earlier reports, there were about 36 students who
started the program in 2010 but only 34 have managed to complete the
journey, and the two students drop out by changing their careers.
Ndumbalo who is 35 years in the field of nursing and 59 years of age
which coincided with the 59th graduation ceremony of the school, has
urged the graduands to stick to their oath of their professional in
remembrance of Florence Nightingale the pioneer of the nursing
professional in the world.
She urged them not do the job of police or teacher while they know
that they are nurses because by doing they will be going contrary to
their oaths, which require them to attend for patients as their
clients.
“You must do your job very diligently despite the challenges the
profession is facing as our work needs people to take risks of caring
for patients,” she encouraged.
In his opening remarks, the principal of college, Emeran Ndunguru
advised the graduates not to be satisfied with the level of education that
they received but go for further studies by obtaining degrees and
masters.
He urged the government to give sponsorship to students who are
learning at his college so that they can benefit from student loans
from the loan board.
However, the college also faces with challenges including lack of
computers, conference hall and teachers but the guest of honour promise the government
will help the college through private public partnership phenomenon.
Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May 1820, and named after the
Italian city of her birth. Her wealthy parents were in Florence as
part of a tour of Europe. In 1837, Nightingale felt that God was
calling her to do some work but wasn't sure what that work should be.
She began to develop an interest in nursing, but her parents
considered it to be a profession inappropriate to a woman of her class
and background, and would not allow her to train as a nurse. They
expected her to make a good marriage and live a conventional upper
class woman's life.
